Default Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

Well, for what it's worth..

I'm using Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner. I have a DLINK Firewall/Router with NAT, so I can run more than 2 machines on my cable provided internet service. I'm also running a website, off a PC in my room. My particular provider has not forced an IP change down to my router, since I hooked it up. It has stayed constant with several router reboots, and 1 overnight outage of electricity.

Roadrunner, locally, does NOT use static IP's. I don't know why the IP hasn't changed, but my website has been up and running continueously (sp?) for about 5 months.

What does it matter if the ISP catches you? They might upsell you on a static IP. Are you saying that they won't LET an individual run a website, unless they pay for a business account? That seems unreasonable, Geo.
