HELP - changed ISP and im blocked out!

[Don Buckley]

for me it's just simpler that way. I only have 2 computers at home, nothing
mission critical, and the leases from my isp are for the most part static,
the ip practically never changes. The problem was that my isp was assigning
each of the systems to separate subnets with some wierd network access stuff
happening. the problem actually cleared itself up when my windows computer
after renewing was assigned to the same subnet as my bsd box. go figure.

thanks tho :)

Why in the world are you getting IP addresses for your LAN from your
ISP? They really have nothing to do with each other.
