Re: [IA] Dedicated IP from Mediacom? Is that because Mediacom doesn't want people setting up servers?
The OP could just use dyndns.org. |

| lhollows is probably on to something that they just don't want people getting a residential connection but setting up mail servers and such on that type of connection.
I use DNSExit.com with the IP Updater. It can updated DNS records with your dynamic IP.
On a side note, I've had the same dynamic IP for at least a year. As long as your CPE device is on all the time, you can usually keep your IP. |

odd thing that, when i had DSL thru bellsouth (before att got them) i had a static ip, cost? $4/mo residential. the TOS clearly stated no servers. so if it is because of that, then its, to be blunt, a very stupid reason.
i think its so they can push business class, who usually needs static ip's? folks working from home. |
