Not sure I understand how your internal IP can change. You can always ask to
have the MP202
offer the same IP to the other device. One IP range dhcp.

If you are running a server on your internet connection you should know how
reliable it is.
Doesn't NV offer a voice mail box as part of their phone service? For me, both
cables and adsl are very reliable. Perhaps the internet reliability depends on
your location.
