This is true, but I have a Linksys VPN router on a dynamic ip, and It
for some reason seems to handle this quite well.

Jaime,

Thank you for the suggestion, but I already know that is not an option.
Once my DHCP lease runs out, they give the IP to another user, and it
causes
IP conflicts on their network.  My router has to continually renew it's
lease.  When it does, it is given the same IP over and over again, but
if I
allow my lease to run out, my IP is definitely given away.  :-(

Chris
