you get a static IP with Cable with TelstraClear not ADSL unless you
are a business, and thats a telecom thing. Which is completely stupid and
illigical, considering my connection has been up for ...well now Iliik its
been 16days as I forgot I rebooted my router when I accidently unplugged
it....but before that it was over 60 days !! thats a pretty
static IP address if you ask me !<br>The ISP I uses before T/Clear was a
local crowed called SNAP, and their service was all OVER the place !! the
connection never stayed up more than 4-5 days at a time. They told me it was
my line, which I knew was total crap, as before them I was with Paradise and
never had any problems, and now I have goent o T/Clear, my connection is
completely stable....<br><br>Jeremy<br><font style="font-family: tahoma;

<div class="OutlookMessageHeader" dir="ltr" align="left" lang="en-us">Hi
Rohit....I
thought you were not alowed to run internet servers on your home PC with
Xtra?
Atleast that was what they told me some time ago, and even Paradise made
that
comment to me at some stage when I was talking to one of their tech support
guys, but then said...."its a stupid and we dont enforce it" and neither
does
TelstraClear...as I run a mailserver too :-)<br><font style="font-size:

<div>What Xtra did was to classify their users as home or business.
For
home users, outlook presumably sorts out the requirement of ssl. And
business users are using mail servers so they have to use SSL
explicitly. The problem is that there are many users that are
businesses
without a mail server and home users with a mailserver. They will
have
problems. Add to that if you application does not support SSL, then
you
are stuffed.<br><br>At home, I run a mailserver called hamster.
<br><br>It suddenly stopped working, it was still receiving some emails
(not
all) but not sending any. <br><br>I tried the webmail - that did not
work with IE or Firefox. <br><br>I read the old emails from
xtra,
found one with a url link which forced me to register for yahoo. A
page
in the middle of the registration told me to change the port
numbers. I
did that but still no luck.<br><br>I had heard on the radio about business
customers having problems, so I enabled SSL3 on hamster. Now the
error
message changed, but still no luck. Then I tried SSL2 and it burst
into
life. When I complained to the CEO, the reply was a link to
their
website - this one tells you to use SSL :-)<br><br>Basically, they still
treat
their customers like shit and act like a monopoly. They only reason
I
have not changed as that I dont want to change my email address. I
will
just have to get a domain name for my emails.<br><br>
