John .... In all honesty, I don't know as I haven't tried outside connections through my qwest dsl with a static ip myself .... I did fail to connect without a static ip using a dyn-dns setup but am unsure if that failure was due to a lack of knowledge and/or improper configuration/setup on my part .... What I seem to remember from earlier Google-izing almost 2 years ago is that other qwest users had a similar experience to mine and that the solution of least resistance was a qwest static ip, although I don't remember for sure if that was the only solution .... A phone call to qwest technical support might provide an answer .... -- Stanley C.
