No, No, what I meant was, I'm too lazy to do that... I prefer to leave
my modem to do the dialling (not use a local/software PPPoE dialler)
and leave it on 24x7 ;)
Personally, I feel guilty of leaving it on always especially when world is
running
short of IPV4 addresses.
hehehehe ...thanks for the smile ! Maybe we should also stop using the '.' since
each IP contains at least 3 of them and sure as hell we'll run out of those !!
Seriously though, your concern is valid but misplaced, because when you get an
IP you are not taking away from the global pool of IPs, but just an IP or range
of IPs that your ISP provider has bought. So, your ISP has already used up that
IP (or range). Saving up on that just means that in the worst case scenario (ie:
that no other subscriber is given the IP) your ISP is wasting the IP by not
assigning it to anyone.
