IP Address Discussions
-
Where is the proper place to discuss the impossibility of changing ones IP address ? Once a year I like to confirm that a residential IP address is permanent, immutable, and unalterable.
Unless you order (and normally pay extra for) a specific static IP from your ISP, you do not have a permanent, immutable, or unalterable IP, you have a dynamic address. And the easiest way to change it is to turn off your router, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on. For fibre and fibre-to-the-cabinet, you may need a longer "wait time" as the reset timeout is generally set longer as it's a more reliable connection (mine is a couple of hours, from the last power cut we had)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Do you see a programming solution implied in the question? I see it a perfectly valid lounge question. At least it is not drivel or something of the day/week/...

From my understanding of boolean algebra that would be just as true. :)

More like some days, since many ISP use DHCP to assign public addresses and the usual policy is to assign preferentially the same IP to the same machine if it connects again inside a certain time frame.

You ask here[^]. But unless you rephrase the question you'll probably get the same answer as you did from Piebald.

Okay, thanks, dropping out here, and dropping in over there at System Admin Oh, and I'll take your hint, and rephrase the question as a student who honestly wants to learn the answer. (Oh ***DO I EVER !!!*** want the answer to that question !!!)
