Short answer: Not at this time.

Long answer:

Many InsightBB IP's appear to be static. Whenever the IP lease renews for a customer's computer, chances are high that the same IP will be received as that before renewal. "Chances are high," doesn't imply "it's always the case," however.

At this time, InsightBB does not offer truly static IP addresses. That is, an InsightBB IP cannot be hard-coded into a customer's computer; all IP's are DHCP-assigned. The option does exist for customers in many areas to obtain "sticky" IP's. Unlike a "regular" IP as described above, a sticky IP is effectively static, in that it is leased "forever" to a particular customer's computer. Such an IP is intended only for something that requires it, such as certain VPN software. It is not intended for uses that violate the Terms of Service ( »Insight BB Forum FAQ »How do I report someone who has violated the InsightBB Acceptable Use Policy? ), such as running servers.

To get a sticky IP, visit »sas.r31.insightbb.com using your InsightBB connection. On that page, it should give you the option of making your current IP address sticky.
