| 385729 | 2005-09-03 10:28:00 | your comment about the static IP address is interesting. I've had a static IP address for the whole year I've been on ADSL. I had a static IP address when I was getting jetstream through orcon, then it changed once to a new static IP address when I changed to bitstream. any idea why the cheap modems require a static IP for port forwarding? That doesn't make any sense to me. |

| 385730 | 2005-09-03 11:26:00 | Not cheap modems, certain D-Link ones like the DSL302g. Im curious why Orcon can give out Static IP's, yet Ive asked and asked iHug ever since I got one for it! without luck :( |

| 385735 | 2005-09-03 12:55:00 | But. Lizard why would you want a static IP unless you wanted to use the machine as a server, which you don't say you do. :eek: | mark c (247) | ||
| 385736 | 2005-09-03 21:30:00 | So it seemingly is only for businesses unless if you're an Orcon customer? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 385737 | 2005-09-03 21:54:00 | Orcon UBS with static IP here. I love static IPs, no having to deal with dyndns.org or anything like that. Telstra cable have fixed IPs as well. I'm sure others do as well. | Jeremy (1197) | ||
| 385738 | 2005-09-03 23:48:00 | So it seemingly is only for businesses unless if you're an Orcon customer?Probably. Orcon's static IP for residential customers is a pain in the arse. | Greg (193) | ||
