Re: [modem/router] Static IP ?
Your IP is most likely not static.
Static means never changes.
From the ISP this usually cost extra.
You most likely have dynamic wich means it may change at anytime. It is however likely that it will not change very frequently. I have at times had the same IP for 20 days. This depends on the demand for IPs your use, if you power off your modem for any extended period of time you will probably lose your IP.
Single Static IP (Westell Lingo) means we will use a specific network connection to pass all wan side request to.
Single Static IP Enabled will pass traffic comming to your Public IP (from the ISP) to one of your network connection.
I would venture to say this setup would come in handy for configuring a server or proxy but I don't think its a good option for a home user. Any traffic that trys your public IP will be pass in to your pc if not properly firewall and locked down this could be bad. |

| True. But a funny thing is
WHen I had it in single static I use to connect to irc.freenode.net or irc.debian.org instantly, now when its in normal mode it takes about 20-30 seconds
(XChat, IRssi) this is irc on Linux by the way
I put it back to normal mode anyways since it seems more secured I still can see my ip (Actual) one when I go to www.myipaddress.com
