Im a dial up user here. Only good thing is that it only costs $6.00 a month. Just wondering can you get like 5 DSL or cable connections in one house? It seems that this would make you faster, cheaper than a T1.

Hrmm. Well I waited for four years for my cable (yes, I had heard about it in 1996). I got it last year. To my disappointment, I had to do DHCP and even if I went to the business edition, I still couldn't get static IP so I could setup my own DNS. =(

I think I may have to go DSL for that.

I used to have DSL when I lived in the ghetto and it was excellent. Now that I live in the sticks I back to dial up. Its about 5 bucks a month so I guess I cant really complain, but I have this great E-card just sitting there doing nothing. Oh well. Peace.

I have what a minute are you sure your not working for the govt. or some other organization. To be it sounds like your trying to get information off of people, are you a telemarketer..... I don't think I trust you with this information.

It is posible to have a static IP address for a Cable modem but don't ask me how. Some time ago my settings stuffed up and I lost connection with my cable internet. It didn't work with Assigning Automatic IP address. My ISP couldn't resolve the problem but gave me a fixed IP address which works well.

I have cable and yes, it is possible to have multiple connections in the house, along with running cable phone and cable television all simultaneously without interfering with eachother.

MsMittens, I've got Optus@Home cable internet, which is also using DHCP. But there is one thing I have noticed.. My IP address has not changed since I got it. I believe that they are using DHCP, but each computer has a IP Address reserved just for it.. doesn't that make you feel special.

If your lucky, your provider might be doing the same stupid thing.
I personally don't like how the provider is doing it as I believe that broadband users are the ones who really need dynamic IP addresses.. but thats a different issue altogether...
