Re: Imagine that... This sounds familiar.
When I signed up, it was with Excite@Home. For the low price of $29.99 I was able to connect with a static IP. If fact I still have the old paperwork with my DNS, WINS and the static IP.
Everything went well for 8 months.
Then I get a leter from Excits saying that they had noticed I was using a static IP in lieu of DHCP and that if I did not go the DHCP route I would have my service cut off.
So I called up Excite support and informed the Tech that I was supposed to get a statice IP address. He told me that Excite never said no such thing and that I would either have to conform or find another ISP. It had something to do, they said, that by using a static address I was slowing myself down. What bunk.
To make a long story short I stayed with a static IP until the day that I was no longer able to connect. So I was forced to go DHCP.
Life goes on. |
