Cox now insists on DHCP protocol

\_ SMTP quoth Digital Wokan on 10/26/2001 09:41 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ They can check to see if your system has a current lease on the DHCP
\_ server. If not, they can see if it's up with a ping. If so, they know
\_ you've got a static address set.

That's nice in theory, but my firewall crisps the ping packets too.
