Re: Cox Cable / Static IP / New Router

They don't assign static addresses via dhcp lease, you just tend to keep
the lease as long as you don't let it lapse (your router stays online).
If you bought a static address (i think you need business services for
this), then you need to configure it as static, non-dhcp. Otherwise a
new mac==new ip lease, which you got there.
