| 114674 | 2003-01-17 10:05:00 | How can I have better security on my computer, with an IP address that changes everytime I connect? Instead of having the same one like I presently do? I've been told that Nortons 2003 asks this question when it's being set up for the first time. Since I wasn't the person who set up NAV2003 on my computer, is there any way that I can enable this option, if it does offer that? I use WinXP Pro... Thanks :) |

| 114676 | 2003-01-17 10:15:00 | I think you might be a tad confused.... dynamic/fixed IP is something your ISP will give you, unless you are on cable, or specificly request (and pay for) fixed IP it will be changed each time you log into the internet. It has nothing to do with nortons .Clueless |

Only if you are connected with a modem. If you are connected through an external router then all it will show you is your fixed or dynamic IP for the Network card/router. For me all it shows is the IP address I assigned the PC. The router has all the other information. |
