Re: [TCLUG:14977] pseudo static ip

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

I don't believe that USWest gives you a static IP.  I believe it is a DHCP
lease with a long term expiration date.  Perhaps it is based on the router
address (MAC ?), in which case, you would probably get the same IP every
time.
