Well, COmcast being the internet leader that it is, probably owns half of the IPs out there.

Actually, that title goes to AOL. :yes:

Yes. As much as I hate to admit it, it is.

And yes, if his IP has stayed the same, then it is static.

Doubt it. I don't think my IP would stay the same for this long.

Me neither. SOMETHING over that three year period would have changed it at some point if it were a dynamic IP.

What ISP do you have?

No, I don't know much about it, but since its a DSL service, its safe to say for sure that you do indeed have a static IP.

In some regions yes it is.

On a different note, I was just looking at our newest members profile, and it turns out that I know him! He's Justin Matherne, my co-admin from the Proboards incarnation of this forum!  8)

See for yourself at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BellSouth ;)

BellSouth merged with AT&T late last year.
