They are static. The IP address is assigned at the time that a cable modem account is created and is recorded on the customer's record. AFAIK TelstraClear does not discourage running servers but will definately hold the customer liable for any traffic charges over the monthly cap resulting from running a server. TelstraClear also does not discourage home networks sharing a Cable Modem, but they will not support such a set-up and if a techie comes to troubleshoot a fault they will only fix the connection from TC to one customer premise computer running Mac OS 9 or greater or Windows 98 or greater. See the Terms & Conditions at www.paradise.net.nz & at www.telstraclear.co.nz TelstraClear's ADSL customers are on dynamic IPs. Yuri TelstraClear Call Centre Lacky
