You're not using NAT? With NAT, pita can be assigned a static
IP address using *private* IP addressing, not *public* IP
addressing.
Port assignment would look like this for example:
150.135.40.150:21 -> 192.168.1.3 (ftp server)
[forwards port 21 to the machine at 192.168.1.3]
150.135.40.150:80 -> 192.168.1.4 (web server)
[forwards port 80 to the machine at 192.168.1.4]

Ok, Alcatel Speedtouch 576. When I open the ports for any
app, the Speedtouch phrases it as "assign a game or
application to a network device". BUT, although I assign the
ports to "pita" (the network name of my PC), what the router
is actually doing is assigning the ports to the internet ip
that "pita" has been assigned at the time, so if for any
reason I disconnect from the net, ALL my port forwarding
rules become invalid when I reconnect because I get
re-assigned a new, different, IP? What am I missing here?
