Two things. First I tried that. (No wizards though....don't need em.) But using DHCP didn't do anything. Since my service is setup for static IP's, I guess they just don't have a DHCP server running on that subnet...which makes sense, since they don't need one. Second, the package I got was for the speed and the static. For the same speed, I don't think there is a dynamic. IP addresses don't cost that much anymore, not with mainstream DSL providers.

Well I see what you mean now, but that doesnt mean you couldn't go through the internet wizard and ask for a dynamic IP at the time while you waited ;o). I'm signed on with Verizon DSL, and while my IP IS a dynamic IP, it hasn't physically changed unless I've done something to make it change, initially I noticed that this would happen if I would reboot my modem, but now I can shut down the modem or my PC for 8hrs or longer and when I boot back up I will keep my IP I had before.. another option for people to use is a dynamic hosting site like http://www.kvtek.com/ddnsServices.asp many have client utilities that will update the server with your current IP... and since dynamic IP's are cheaper than static, this provides a great savings... -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com On Friday, April 25, 2003 10:59 AM [GMT-8], Drew Wutka <DWUTKA at marlow.com> wrote: : That only works if you have an IP Address already.
