HI,
Thanks for the responses. I have checked the Whirlpool thread which seems a bit confusing and I have phoned and written to my ISP (Optus) with little joy. In fact I had a reply to my email which I quote below:
"Dear Roger,
Thank you for your e-mail.
Optus Broadband only offers a static IP feature for our business customers, If you are a residential customer unfortunately at this point in time we are not offering a static IP services."
I have spoken to a friend who also uses Optus Cable and her Internet Connection properties are the same as mine.
I am not sure what to try, maybe I should use one of the Melbourne DNS addreses in the Whirlpool thread and see what happens!
Can anyone say if the Norton Ghost image I have will restore the TCP/IP stuff if I end up with no internet connection at all?
Thanks, Roger |
