Thanks to M1CUK, G8VPR, G1KQH, G0CER, GM7HUD & G1NNB who responded to
my help bulletin.
I was looking for a get-around of having to change ISP to one with a
static IP address but it seems that there isn't a easy answer to that.
I thought that maybe there was a setting in the router that would force
the current IP address to be retained. It seems strange to me that a
constantly used 24/7 connection would be subject to IP address changes.
I could understand it if there was no data sent for a certain length of
time, but the DX-Cluster is continually receiving and sending data as
the spots are coming in every minute. Isn't there a setting in the router
that will hold the connection to the ISP for a certain length of time ?
As I hinted in my original bulletin, the DX-Cluster is not run from home
but from the local radio club. My IP address at home stays the same for
months on end although it is a static address. ( CABLE - not BT phone line ).
Anyway, thanks again to one and all for responding.
73, Pete G6KUI
