In my layman's view.... In the US, the cheap internet connections, including broadband ones such as cable internet, frequently use dynamically-assigned IP addresses that are "leased" to the user for a set period. In my case, though, it appears that I keep the same IP address and it is automatically renewed, as long as I'm not logged off when the lease expires. Then all bets are off. Also, my cable ISP does not allow me to maintain a server on my machine anyway. I know of one case, at least, where the cost for the identical non-broadband connection speed, but with a fixed IP address, was quoted at something like 3x greater. 73, Pete N4ZR Sometimes a tower is just a tower
