If you do not have a static IP address, you may find that long term connections are interrupted when your IP address is renewed or changed. In this case, it's not the result of a policy decision by the ISP at all, but just a normal and natural side effect -- and you can avoid it by paying for a static IP address. FWIW, this is unlikely with any normal DHCP configuration. DHCP has a long window for lease renewal, so unless you go offline for an extended period of time (typically a day or two), you won't change IP addresses. -- Peter Eckersley pde@eff.org Staff Technologist Tel +1 415 436 9333 x131 Electronic Frontier Foundation Fax +1 415 436 9993
