Yes, we're!!! I live in a students hostel and I'm unable to change ISP. The only other solution would be to to get a gprs-modem. But I don't want to bay it because prices are wild here in Moscow (and I'd have dynamic IP then, correct?). Before writing on this list I've consulted my ISP. They have no better (free) solution that the one I have at the moment. Alternatively, they can charge me with extra money for so called 'static IP'. I don't need it because I don't want to run WEB-server at home. I just want to access my files at home computer from lab computer to eliminate stresses in case I forgot a USB-drive in a rash to the lab :-) -- Hiisi. Registered Linux User #487982.
