    I don't know about your provider, but my DSL connection is through
    Telus, and even though the dynamic IP address might change the hostname
    is static (xxxxxxxxx.bc.hsia.telus.net). You might want to check if this
    is so for you. If you do a reverse lookup on your IP address and the
    hostname returned does not contain the IP address it might be true for
    you as well.

    Terry.
