Re: Hurricane damage to office, need static IP

said by SHoTTa35 :

If so then it's easy to connect your Exchange to it as your IP follows the modem's MAC.

That will work if the modem is connected to the same headend.

If not, he will receive an IP address from the dynamic pool of the headend where the modem polls for a lease, which sounds to me like what's happening.

It sounds to me like he hasn't even tried it yet. He's saying his normal OOL service at home is pulling the dynamic address, not his BOOL modem/router.
