hmm...You'd think wouldn't you. Well I learned that AT&T's business
internet doesn't really have static (or rather permenantly assigned DHCP
addresses) I lost mine a Wed. and couldn't get back on. I setup an
overnight script to bang away at a renewal attempt every 63 seconds...and I
FINALLY got the address back some time after 8:00 am the next morning.
Thank goodness that whoever ELSE had it didn't keep their PC on.
So...I'm hoping that those numbers reflect AT&T's modification of my DHCP
lease. UG!
