Yes, you can get Static IPs. Yes, normally you can have an IP for a very long time. It will change, however, if you change the NIC in your computer. The IP is somehow linked to that particular NIC. For instance, I bought a new 3Com NIC for a server and removed the old one. The new NIC got a new IP and the previous IP followed the old NIC that I put in another box. I am curious as to why you are getting Verizon DSL, though. I left Verizon because they got rid of all their high speed packages. I had 1.5/768 forever and then they got rid of it and I couldn't keep it when I moved, so I got rid of Verizon and went with AT&T. The fastest package you can get now is 1.5/128. ---- Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Forrest Aldrich" <forrie@forrie.com> To: "Jason Halbert" <jason@jason-n3xt.org> Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 23:34 Subject: Re: ADSL with Verizon > Ah, thanks. > > I'm only familiar with getting up the standard ethernet connections.
