As far as I can tell, Time Warner land isn't blocking port 80 traffic. In Time Warner land you're still Road Runner (handy licensing of mascot I'm sure.) If you're in AT&T land you are something like AT&T at Home or AT&T Broadband or AT&T Buzz-word-of-the-week. Sooner or later they'll get them selves sorted out. I'm on Time Warner myself, and I've had my current IP address for over 70 days. I know this to be true cause my dyndns address (geekapt.homeip.net) has sent me a "no updates for 35 days" e-mail twice. So if you're box is running 24/7 it will keep the same IP for a long time. You'll still have to use a dhcp client or your lease won't be renewed, and you'll be scrwed when someone else gets leased that address. How things are in AT&T land I don't know, but remember, AT&T is not Road Runner! Andrew S.
