the reason i need this is for online gaming and i rang vodafone today and they said they would want a 1000 euro for a static ip and then hung up the fone on me.please no stupid answer's like change provider as i have thought of this already and it is not an option.i already tried to force my modem to take a static ip and it didn't work.if you have any other option to improve connection to the ps3 it would be much appreciated. take into consideration that i have tryed almost everything from opening ports to entering settings manually..........thanks in advance ian
