xbox ntl service and static ip
I noticed the xbox service gives a static ip, could someone like myself who hasn't got an xbox order the xbox service just to make use of the static ip address?

Re: xbox ntl service and static ip
It doesn't give you a static I.P-Just a 2nd I.P solely for the XBOX.
[Edit]-Moved to XBOX forum.

Just for the Xbox?
AFAIKR I have heard that you can use it for a 2nd IP for a PC.
However, this does not give you any more bandwidth etc.

Re: xbox ntl service and static ip
You could technically use it on anything, it's a DHCP assigned IP, not even guaranteed to be in the same range as the PC IP.

Re: xbox ntl service and static ip
heh I am not after more bandwidth (well I am  but not this way) but a static ip address solves a few problems for me and dont mind paying for it, since NTL dont officially seem to offer static ip's to home users I thought this might be a way round it.

the 2nd ip isn't static though... as BBking said it is dhcp assigned. If you want a static ip for a pc for hosting purposes, try www.no-ip.com or www.dyndns.org

I thought it was coming down by £2.00 to £3.00 per month (still a rip off IMO)

Not really-you can still pick up a basic router for not far off the annual cost of ntl's 'service'.

Re: xbox ntl service and static ip
its not for hosting services its for ACL (access control lists, authorisation via ip address), and I read somewhere on a NTL page that the 2nd ip is static, just looking for the page now.
