' Wrote:Aye, I'm praying I've got a static IP, I'm trying to find the information about it. They've seen this coming for a number of years, now they're trying to go from 32 bit addressing to 128bit... thats a CRAP load of new addresses.
And I'm 21, and whats to fool? Dynamic IP users are at most risk I think, some ISP don't know how many utilize it because of the amount of users.
Think, 50 addresses to 50 customers. Thats fine.
What if it was 50 addresses to 60 customers? How is that going to work?
Well many providers solve this problem like this:
60 - customers and only well lets say 3 unique IP adresses to each 20 customers,
inside the network they have each personal IP adress, but to outside word They connect by 1 IP adress.
The bigger firms buy in advance many IP adreses - so as I already tell, they have stil many adress witch are not in use.
