Anyone know why my IP address keeps changing from the boat, but stays fixed at
home? I'm using Verizon service with a an LG phone to log on via AOL Anywhere.

Thanks,

RB

I'm no computer expert, but I have heard that some internet systems assign a
different ip every time you log on.
Best explanation I can give you.

If you're using dial-up from the boat, there's every chance that you'll get
a different IP (dynamically-assigned from a pool of addresses) every time
you connect. If your home connection is broadband, it'll either be fixed, or
dynamically-assigned but unlikely to change if you have an always-on
connection.

What's an LG phone?

It's a brand of tri-band phone. One of the best I've tried, especially better
than my Nokia and Motorola's, but not as good as the odd little Panasonic I had
for a year.

Do you have a static IP at home? Typically, people don't unless they
need several that don't change. However, it's possible you do... sounds
like it anyway. The other connection is for sure DHCP (dynamic).

I thought you were going to tell me it was a "light green" phone.
Since it's a cell phone, you will get an IP number assigned from a
pool. What do you use at home?

I have a cable and DSL line at home and I even use the verizon link at times.

I thought you were going to say that you regularly call the gay
bars with yours.

Oh, duh! How could I fail to realize you have a cable AND DSL line,
and use a dial up.
