Do Iburst users have a static IP?

[dbecks]

1. If you are with Iburst, do you have a static IP address?
2. Also how does one go about changing an IP address?
3. If you restart your Iburst modem, do you get a new IP address every time after the restart?
Pls help, Thanks

If you want a static ip with iBurst it'll cost an extra R200 a month on top of whatever package you take.

So does this mean that currently every time i restart my modem i get a different IP address

Mostly yeah. Just run ipconfig.

Ok (*sorry for my incompetence) but what exactly does ipconfig do
Does it give you info about your IP address?

ipconfig will give you info about the assigned IP on your computer- assuming you've got the iBurps plugged into the PC directly, which is a bad bad idea- kind of like having sex with a prostitute without a condom.
Anyhow, if you have a router ipconfig will only give you the IP assigned locally to your PC.

To find out your publicly assigned dynamic IP you have two options:

1) log into router and view it there
2) go to a site that can detect your IP. Some don't work reliably thanks to that lovely piece of sh*t transparent proxy that iBurps runs.
