Definitely confused about Demon now. Our school dial up account with Demon has a dynamically assigned IP address (DAIPA)!
Demon Dialup accounts all use Static IP addresses, what are you using to see if the IP address is static or dynamic?
Are there other sorts of Demon accounts.
Only those used by VISPs ( Virtual Internet Service Provider - an ISP that essentially resells another ISP's services under it's own brand ).

As far as I can tell you should always connect as: [root@hostname nickd]# nslookup southlee.demon.co.uk Server: cache-1.ns.demon.net Address: 158.152.1.58 Name: southlee.demon.co.uk Address: 193.237.229.2 193.237.229.2 Yes? ( left on the list as I'm presuming the forthcoming discussion of determining your IP address will prove useful to some ) -- Nick Drage - half understanding Pegasus until he gets his Linux partition sorted out......
