You can request a static ip address for no > additional cost from the @home people. I had @Home in Columbia, MD and now have it in Aliquippa, PA. In both locations they only provide static IPs. I did need to provide them a windows box to destroy with their software, but after they left connected it to my FreeBSD box and use NAT to give access to my 2 other windows computers. BTW, the thing that sucks about @Home is that they don't have peering with UUNet. They get their UUNet routes via CIX (I have the password to this router). So if you live on the east coast, your packets need to travel to Palo Alto, CA and back to the east coast, not to mention that UUNet has a crapy connect into CIX. :-( -Nathan > Charles > > cpeters2@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
