I'm actually in the opposite situation. I discovered the above while I was on 
an ISP that gave me a fixed IP address. I've since moved and am on Verizon 
DSL now and get my IP dynamically. Given the number of probes I get from 
addresses in the Verizon world, I'm not too happy with that solution at 
present. ;-)
