Is there equipment that, short of a fixed ip, tries to reassign the same ip back to the same user? Ie, puts the ip address in a fifo but pulls it out early if it's the same user calling back.
I bet Ms. Thorton never heard that TCP can preserve idle connections when dial-up link is down. Yeah, dial-on-demand is such a hard thing to do!
Well, yes. But if you're on a dynamic IP, good luck at getting the answers to your packets when you call up and are assigned a new IP.
