[SPAM] - RE: [Hidden-tech] Why am I losing internet connection frequently? - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses

[Dave DelVecchio]

Hello all,

We have found several clients with this similar issue.  The common cause
has been that while Charter or Comcast says that their customers are
paying for a static IP address, they are actually just being given
access to a "reserve pool" of IP addresses.  In essence, it's still
dynamic, it's just that you're pulling from a smaller pool of potential
numbers.  The end-user often has to reset their broadband connection to
pickup another address from the reserve pool.

The problem is that often, you'll pickup a different IP than you had
previously had.  If you had setup remote access, have a mail server,
etc, it screws up that connection.

We had to go to the mat with Charter on behalf of a client who was using
Remote Desktop to connect to her office. Only after confirming that it
was a commercial address and was not a home-based business did they
actually give her a true static IP, even though she'd been paying for a
static IP address for over a year!

Good luck with your efforts,
