Got dsl installed today-- I'm in heaven!!! But the tech did things so quickly, I couldn't figure out a few things that I'd like to know so I can set up my router.
First, it appears that Northpoint and MSN have'conspired' to make things so that I am stuck with their modem. No problem as far as I'm concerned because it does not use PPPoE. But I'd like to know if I have a static IP or not -- I thought I saw him enter some IP addys -- how can I find this out? As apart of the agreement with MSN, I am not allowed to have the password to the dsl modem which peaves me off to no end -- I was told, "once it's set, it's set and if you don't like this, we'll have hte technician pack it up and send it back -- nice customer service. So can I ping myself? Is there any other way to tell if this is a static IP or not?
