I do believe that DNS was invented to solve this problem, inter alia :) MeJ On 04/02/2020 12:54, John Winters via GLLUG wrote: On 04/02/2020 11:09, Oliver Howe wrote: It is a leased line into my office.

Your IP address will be one of a range belonging to and routed to your underlying supplier. You can't port them like mobile phone numbers.

According to whois the owner is mdnx so I will try them and see if they can help. If you don't own the IP range (i.e. it's _at least_ a /24 PI allocated to you by RIPE), it's very very unlikely your current ISP will let you take it with you. -- GLLUG mailing list GLLUG@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug

It is a leased line into my office. I want to move to a new provider (the current one is more of a reseller) and keep the same IP address as a lot of my clients allow me access to their systems based on my IP address.

Assuming you mean your IP address, that would depend on who your ISP is and whether it is genuinely fixed (rather than just having happened to stay the same for a long time). With a genuinely fixed address, and assuming you keep the same ISP, I would expect it to be possible, but you really need to ask them. If you change ISP, then definitely not.

Long answer: It will really depend on your ISP. If you are keeping the same ISP, then this should not be an issue. However, I would recommend you contact them before moving to ensure continuity of service (including your static IP!) Cheers!
