I have a fixed IP (not static), but I can run a server and it works just fine.
At the risk of sounding like a smartass....what the hell is the difference between a fixed IP and a static IP?

Thanks jydub, I'll look into that since they are already auto-billing my CC.

So far I have seen no obvious difference except when I set up the router. A fixed IP by Covad's definition means that you still use DHCP but you get the same IP address every time.
