Edison · #1 05-01-2008

Hi all guys..

I am in Australia, with the ISP bigpond on ADSL2+.. My IP was Static IP before, but I have no idea when i reboot the wireless router, the IP was changed. Reboot it again, changed again..

It looks like I can get a different IP whenever I want..

I have not login my ebay use my computer right now, even I reinstalled my system. Because I am worried about the MAC address can be recorded by ebay. I only login paypal used VMware to create a virtual system..

So what should I pay more attentions to? if after I got a dynamic IP..

I use Check and Map your Current IP address. to check my IP..

Thank you

Most people don't truly have "static" IPs. What they do have are long DHCP lease times, which renew at 1/2 the lease time. The trick of changing your mac address works, because the ISP will not have a binding for it.

With ADSL specifically, sessions use a PPP session which uses IPCP for IP address negotiation. It's quite common for DSL/ADSL to experience this behavior.
