Re: Comcast question: dynamic ip and hostname
Thanks everybody. It sounds like things are more or less like they were under the old @HOME arrangement, which is good. Joel ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

I don't think you have to worry about using DHCP to get your IP address. It seems each cable modem gets a unique IP address that doesn't change.

Re: Comcast question: dynamic ip and hostname
BTW, my current plan is, if I have to reboot, I will not run dhcpd and not ask to be reassigned an ip number. In effect, I will act like I have a static number. Afterall, they did give an infinite lease when they assigned my number to me. Has anyone tried this?

Comcast question: dynamic ip and hostname
I changed over to a dynamic ip from a static ip number with comcast recently. I got an ip number and ran nslookup against it to see what my new host name was, and it was: pcp361333pcs-udp079123uds.towson01.md.comcast.net Now, when I run nslookup against my ip number, which hasn't changed, I get: tow33dhcp1252.towson01.md.comcast.net I called comcast tech support but they were clueless about this. Or, better put, I was unable to make them appreciate my concerns. My major concern is to maintain my current ip number, which is reachable from anywhere on the internet as hammershome.com. SO, any comcast users here? Have you tried to reboot your machine to see if you maintain the same ip number. Have you tried to use the new hostname with the -h parameter with dhcpcd? Also, I would like to know if the new name is resolvable on the internet, so, would someone, NOT on the comcast network, kindly ping that name (tow33dhcp1252.towson01.md.comcast.net) and see if you get back: 68.33.4.228 ?
