[QUOTE="camnewyork, post: 609525, member: 49329"] Thats good to know.... You would think 20 years as a developer I would understand this stuff... but networking is like a foreign language to me. I just had a lesson from the IP guy and I think I still have an issue but I described it wrong. SInce I am behind a modem from TW and then I have a router, I don't care what TW does with my external IP address.... but... There is no guarantee that my internal IP address will stay the same. I have to reboot the router from time to time... also ice storms or whatever could cut power. When the router comes back up it conceivably could give my Mac a different internal IP..... Now he did say I could do a "reservation" in the router that says, always give MAC address XXX IP YYY..... Does this sound like I am getting closer to understanding the workings for a home network? I don't imagine I will see this issue very much, probably only when I lose power and get unlucky on re-allocation of IPs.... Carl [/QUOTE]
