[luau] Earthlink or Roadrunner? -- static IP addresses?

[bwbees0]

Aloha,

     I too noticed the "fixed" IP address phenomenon when 
I used RR.  I haven't used my new ISP here long enough to 
tell if it works the same as RR did but... It occurs to me 
that if you leave a router/firewall up 24/7, then the DHCP 
client will continue to renew the IP address that was 
originally issued.  My personal experience is that I never 
got a different IP address unless my box was off line long 
enough for the lease to expire and have that IP address 
reissued to another client.  So my IP address stayed 
relatively fixed, but I wouldn't call it a staic IP.

Mele Kalikimaka,
