Home connections don't have fixed IPs.. especially Tel$tra ADSL unless it's business class. There are some providors I've heard which provide DSL with ethernet connections and not PPPoE, these were static too. WHo it was who told me I can't rememeber...
Optus cable don't provide Static IPs even thought my friends cable connection has had the same IP since he started it, but Optus don't guarentee that it'll stay like that forever.. thanks, George Vieira Systems Manager Citadel Computer Systems P/L http://www.citadelcomputer.com.au -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Palmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16 2002 10:10 AM To: Jon Biddell Cc: Daniel Harper; SLUG Subject: Re: [SLUG] ISP's AND INTERNET SOLUTIONS On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, Jon Biddell wrote: > >home service with fixed IP (doesn't mean it doesn't exist...).

I did notice later (damn my inability to read right the first time) that Home connections do have fixed IP, and furthermore there's no restriction on running servers or multiple machines off the one line. So, the question then becomes, why pay for a business service? Support, perhaps? Seems like an awful lot of money for the ability to get the answer 'you're screwed' a bit faster... <g> > >Yes, they've got some nice cheap home connections.

They're not the cheapest, but better than Telstra, and support is 'Better than Telstra' is hardly a difficult task... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
