well ip addresses can easily be banned so im not bothered

daboss

Doesn't IP get reassigned everytime you log out and back into your ISP for both broadband and dial-up?

pfgannon

IP changes with dial up not broadband

There are other methods to circumvent IP blocking other then relying on a dynamic IP address from your ISP. On the internet, if someone wants to piss you off badly enough -- there's not much you can do other then trying to get their ISP (granted that you know who they are) to suspend their access.

daboss

Fourtone, not true, in some places, ip also changes for broadband - granted that you have to log off and then back in again. :roll:

pfgannon

what broadband service do you have to log on to?
sounds dreadful

daboss

1. Your connect your laptop and your ADSL modem
2. You connect to the ISP
3. You can leave the connection on for as long as you want - you have ben assigned an IP
4. However, if you disconnect (not physically), and reconnect again, you will notice that you have been assigned a new IP (the first 2 octets don't change though)

pfgannon

ooooooooo

Chroder

Most broadband ISP's do renew your IP address once in a while anyway. If you want a truly static IP address (for websites or gaming servers etc) then you will need to look for it specifically advertised -- usually with the 'business' plans.
