Re: Static IP address

Thanks - the problem is my IP address does change as the office I use is also used as a bedroom and it gets a bit like blackpool for visitors what with the modem, wireless router, print server etc. all flashing away - so when we have guests my other half turns off the comms equipment

To be honest I think the people I'm working for are on a loser insisting on static IP but I could do with a conclusive answer to wave in front of them

But even so, I'm not sure why you need a static IP to connnect from when you use your corporate VPN solution. Ours doesn't, and it has been specifically tested and proven to work on a domestic NTL connection.
Does the VPN ate your work use those number generating data tags or is there another form of security sitting in there?
