I am on Blueyonder and this works fine for me. The thing to do is to not change your NIC's though - even if you have registered the new ones. Use one NIC, and one machine to act as a gateway if you want several boxes connected. I keep a small Win2K partition on the BSD box for any visits by the Telewest engineers, but my Ip address hasnt chnaged since I first signed up to the service. All works very nicely. -pcf.
