:) Another rebel, I see. Every time I have called AT&T in the over two years I've
had them, I can't remember a time they *didn't* say to use DHCP, and imply that
static ips either never existed (yeah, right) or that they are being phased out.
In any case,  I ignore it every time. The day the static ip number no longer works
is the day I start up DHCP.
