They use DHCP on RoadRunner cable modem here in Raleigh. When they were still in beta test mode, they tried making it so that your IP address would change a couple of times a day, but that seems to have caused customers lots of problems and therefore lots of calls to tech support. As a result, they stopped making the IP addresses change all of the time, so I've had the same IP address for about 9 months now as a result.
Apparently when I wrote the above back in August, I woke up someone at TimeWarner. Ever since I sent this message, my DHCP assigned IP address has changed repeatedly.
I guess I should have kept my mouth/fingers shut.
Just remember, that in this world there are asshole, dicks, and pussies. In this case, whoever I "woke up" is an asshole and shit all over me.
Thanks for nothing,
