Spannerhead,

I can think on only two scenario:

1- your supplier does know the difference between the static and dynamic and some one added the request to the list who had no idea what they were asking.

2- Your supplier, is spying on you........There are more ways then one to spy on users with Static IP address.....IP I were you I would get a decent Firewall and only allow "certain" software to access Internet.


I have a small customer myself and I asked them to acquire static IP address as well.......Here is why....my customer, has business and they want to access their computer from outside......having said that, I suggested Radmin or remote desktop and a bit of port forwarding on the router ........There is no reason other then being able to access the computer inside of a network from "anywhere'' for static IP address.

Do you want to explain what you supplier do!?

Cheers
