I suppose it could be argued that if that IP is already assigned that it should allocate you another one, but they'd have no real idea which login was the one that actually needed that fixed IP. Of course, the way around this if I were an ISP is to not allow multiple logins at once. I'm pretty sure mine doesn't. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang ICQ number 43634701
