As another data point about coax cable IS, I have Comcast @Home, and we have static IPs at my location. No DHCP at all. This is not true of all Comcast @Home locations. It might vary with location for Cox as well. The service might not bother to deal with DHCP while ( subscriber_base < number_IPs ) in the local network. This could of course change. You really need to find out what protocol you are or are not using from your provider or from the setup on your other, supported OS. -- Crist J.
