The report isn't incorrect, just out-of-date (a technicality I know - but I'm known for being pedantic), you could *try* asking them to re-test your IP, but I wouldn't hold your breath. > > Get a static IP > > In my dreams (I'm with NTL). [Off topic - forgive me!] Get a better ISP - NTL really, really, really suck. I can personally vouch for Nildram, but this ISP good-bad-ugly discussion is better off on a related forum (adslguide.org.uk is your friend if you live this side of the pond) > > In the short term your best bet is to get a new [dynamic] IP. > > In my dreams (I'm with NTL).

Although, having said that, we're talking about NTL... (see above) Good luck...
