Re: VPN Setup

The modem is provided by the ISP and the account is dynamic. If I want to
have static IP's I need a different account, therefore I am considering the
modem Dynamic for the sake of this discussion.

Although the IP's on the server and the router do not change (static). I
believe that basically you could say that the router and the server are not
truly "static" as the ISP does not know they exist and the IP's were just
generated by me. This is in fact part of my question.The internal IP for the
server and the router are the standard 192.168.xx.xx. The external IP for the
router was selected by the modem and is now "static" perse'.

why do you consider the DLink DSL modem to be "dynamic"
