If you login to dsl and find out what the IP address is you can the hardcode this into you TCP/IP settings instead of letting DHCP detertmine which IP you will use. When the host Server authenticates you it pings an IP address to see if anyone is logged onto that IP. Therefore you can use the same IP everytime. You may have some difficulty with lease times but 99 times out of 100 the server will renew the lease. This works for both Telstra and optus.
