1213396	2011-06-29 23:56:00	No the changes are at their end.	dugimodo (138)
1213397	2011-06-29 23:57:00	Thanks dugimodo!	Cato (6936)
1213398	2011-06-30 00:42:00	The only thing you may need to do is check that you have your actual username & password set in the router. I know with Telecom the router will still connect to the internet even if your username & password aren't set in the router. To get your static IP correctly assigned you need to be using your username & password.	CYaBro (73)
1213399	2011-06-30 00:46:00	Yeah if you don't have a username and password, they'll assign you one. As CYaBro mentioned, if you're not using an account-specific username / password, then it will fall back to a DHCP address.	Chilling_Silence (9)

To get your static IP correctly assigned you need to be using your username & password. I noticed that, gave me a headache when I couldn't figure out why my Linksys wouldn't connect while Telecom's Thomson would. :(	Cato (6936)
1213401	2011-06-30 02:13:00	By default they use the username of user@xtrabb with a password of abc123 I believe. That'll get you connected even, but it'll result in a dhcp ip ;)	Chilling_Silence (9)
1213402	2011-06-30 02:42:00	I'm impressed. I already got my static IP. From email timestamps it took them about ~30 minutes. Good thing I didn't have to wait "up to two working days".	Cato (6936)
1213403	2011-06-30 03:14:00	Wow nice! :)	Chilling_Silence (9)
1213404	2011-06-30 05:07:00	Did they charge you and what plan are you on?	Barnabas (4562)
