Tier 2 is probably misinformed, I don't think the "sticky" IPs have anything to do with the Netopia. After sitting with an SBC tech for an hour while he tried to troubleshoot a "sticky" IP and account issue I believe the IP just gets associated with the PPPoE account. After all, they do support other routers for their service and the Netopia isn't anything special. You have full access to your router after the account is setup, just grab the WAN IP from the router and test with an OpenBSD box. Greg
