External IP address: unstable (changing every 1.5 hour).
« on: March 02, 2007, 01:34:52 PM »
Hi, :D

Something in SME 7.1.1 make the "External IP address" (Review configuration) unstable.  I notice that in 9 hours my External IP address changed 6 time (average of 1.5 new IP per hour).  I experienced that with SME 7.X:  I rebooted an everything was fine after.  But now it doesn't seem to work.  Any Idea?
 :?

Thanks, OursPolaire

I had a client with this problem - it turned out to be static on the phone line used for their DSL connection.

They would go up to 2 weeks with no problems, then start changing IPs every 10 - 15 minutes.

Changing DSL vendors solved everything...
