My comcast service here in shreveport sucks so bad that I have to have DSL from bellsouth to use as backup when the comcast cable it down, which is often. The comcast, when it works, has a incredible speed on speakeasy but the DSL is pretty slow. R On Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:25:30 -0600, Geoff/W5O

This is an example of the difference between 'fixed IP' ad 'static IP'. Most home users and many business users have dynamic IP, which is assigned when they log in. But a website, for example, needs a fixed IP address, because the whole internet domain name system pretty much requires it. When
