Personally, I can not overstress the advice to go with Telstra/Saturn if at all possible. The hassle is absolutely zero. Silch. As in, nothing. Pick a spare NIC in any of your PCs, ifconfig it with your personal global static IP given to you by Telstra/Saturn/Clear/Whatevertoday and you're off. Your system config tool does this for you. You wouldn't have had to deal with this kind of rubbish, nor setup anything else like dhcp. This all for the price of at most, less last time I looked, a jetstart connection. Plus you don't aid Telecom in ripping off your ISP, and do something positive for competition in the ISP market. (And if you personally feel so inclined, you can, after having listened to Telecom telling you where to go for many a year, now return the favour.) > though the list or at least carbon copied to me as well please.
