Hi all, it's my first post so please be gracious! I'm working in Nepal and shortly to go back to UK for home leave to an NTL broadband-enabled house. I'd like to be able to access a (linux) server here using SSH, but would feel happier if I could give it an IP address (or even IP range) to restrict incoming clients. I know that NTL doesn't give a static IP per se, although according to many posts they don't often change. But I won't know my own NTL IP until I get there and I'd prefer to lock it down a bit at least in the two or three days I'm between A and B. Basically, if I could find out the block of IP addresses that NTL uses, then I could do that, and then when I'm back in the UK, I can narrow it down further. Thanks for any help/suggestions.
