PacBell uses Staic IP's since around January I believe here in the Bay Area. The change was for the "home" or Basic account. Yes, many of us still have the single IP accounts with the external Alcatel DSL modem. You will now get an Internal in most cases, or can upgrade to the 5 IP account for $79. Regards, Jon

Hello all,

I'm getting PacBell DSL installed on Friday and wanted to take a poll of any current PacBell users out there. On their website and per their tech support they use DHCP for home users but everyone I've talked to so far has gotten a static IP.

Can anybody give me feedback on whether they have a static IP with PacBell or not for the home user plan?

Thanks, Greg

-- I have PacBell line service but did not settle for their ISP stuff. I use a smaller, local ISP which has a nice attitude about things like NAT, Linux, etc. I have never been told, even when I considered PacBell at one point, it would be dhcp.

Since I don't use PacBell for ISP, they arrived, hooked up the line and tested it, found out I use Linux and left as soon as they had a green light on the device. I had a Linux server ready to go at that point. I use Debian and SuSE for things but wanted a truly small Linux installation so went with Debian Potato. My server is down to about 60mb in size I believe now. -- Michael Perry mperry@tsoft.com ------------------ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
