As told - your external IP address assigned by your ISP, and it called dynamic, because it is not fixed...means it can be changed by the system of the ISP at any moment...
In most cases turning off-on your router gives you a new IP, so it may work for you...
(If it is critical for you, ask ISP...They own the IP range so may have a solution for you...)

A five day disconnection did not work.
I have the same IP address I've had for, duh, three months, I'm guessing.

It is probably different there, than here...
There is an other - more complicated - way...Changing the MAC address of your gateway (router)...Wouldn't do it if not extremely necessary...

Curious, could I purchase a second physical device, and connect it ?
Would the second physical MAC address in the second physical device set off alarms and panic at my ISP ?

I do not know your ISP, but I have no problem whatsoever to connect more than one router on the same line...They share the bandwidth but all works...

It so happened that my (monthly lease) modem was in the trunk of my car which was the object of an 18-wheeler hit and run, which turned into an extended nightmare of 6 weeks with my car in the shop.
Result: I did not return it according to the agreement, so I owed the provider the price of their modem.
My responsibility, so I paid.
I guess that I am now the proud owner of a second Modem.
I am currently plugged in directly via an ethernet cable.
My previous place, it was WiFi between computer and router.
I don't know the first thing about these devices. I was in a place that had One Megabit (more or less) and I'm now in a place that has Twenty Five Megabits.
I suppose the procedure will be to plug the other one in, and start the guess and test procedure to see if it works.
Advice welcome.

In order to use a new modem, you must activate it according to your ISP's procedure.
This usually means telephoning them and telling them the MAC address and serial number of the modem.
Only after they put that information into their system can the new device work with your service.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

It sounds me awful...To me all I need is the type of the communication (PPPoE/PPPoA and other technical things) and my username/password...The later is in my head and the former is in the current modem...

I have been unable to find out if Bluetooth spec actually specifies how to connect to the device.
Most application talk about two basic parts of the technology - the interface ( serial AKA modem, SPI, USB ) and the RF.
And I though these devices could communicate among each other on their own ( as instructed) - for example passing the payload "down the pipe" sort off.
Perhaps real pipe dream?
And please - no Google it ! I did.

Actually I was looking for the interface to Bluetooth device at hardware level - Arduino to be precise.
From few sources I gather that at that level and with serial ( TX /RX) I/O it is just a modem communication with the host processor using plain Hayes AT protocol.
I suppose SPI interface would work similar - converting to AT commands if necessry.
At this point I am not that concerned how the Bluetooth device communicates with another Bluetooth device or how it handles networking between multiple devices. That will come later.

Is there a documentation on how OS ( XP in particular) should initialize newly inserted USB device?
For example - when inserting Microsoft 2.4GHz transmitter - the XP goes thru three "install newly found device " ( one of then is "human interface") , always complains that the device is "not safe" to install and ends up with "Found new hardware" balloon.
Another example - inserting "old" 500 MB flash goes thru several similar install - including "generic volume".
Sometime, not always , I get "newly installed device is functioning properly".
Sometime, not always too, new device gets detected on "local" USB ports and fails to get installed / detected on D_link USB (powered) hub - recently updated to the latest and greatest driver.
If it is just "unsupported" / obsolete XP lack of USB operation ( happen before when it was still supported by MS) , I'll live with it.
I am not interested in "update to Windoze XYZ", just looking for some reasonable documentation on how USB (plug and pray) devices are detected / installed by ANY OS. ( Perhaps it is in USB doc itself? I did not look ).
Thanks
Cheers Vaclav

Have a look at USB in a NutShell[^].
If you have problems with a specific USB device / OS combination you should search the web.
There are standard devices like hubs, human interface, and storage volume which usually does not require a specific driver but will use a default driver provided by the OS. But non-standard devices require a specific driver. When this is not provided by the OS it must be installed (found new hardware with Windows).

Thanks, very nice doc, easy to navigate.
I need to study it in detail.
So far I am unclear why single USB device "belongs / need" multiple data / stuff like "human interface", "disk drive " , "volume" etc.
I am still not clear when the OS detects valid "plug and pray" USB device , with internal resources already known, why it goes thru all those dialogs.
I can see when external resources are needed, but I would expect that the OS would do , at least some stuff, "automatically" and just report " USB device installed , ready to run".
Cheers

Addendum
I think I just opened can of worms.
Example
I can plug in my Arduino development port to "direct" USB port,it installs (on XP) without single problem as plug and play.No restart.
If I remove it and move it to my D-link port ABSOLUTELY nothing gets reported by XP.
Needles to say Arduino IDE no longer recognizes the COMx port as active and the only way to get it back is to uninstall the COMx,and rescan for new hardware. Than XP goes thru clear install and ask for "restart".
So far it looks as "chaining" USB - direct PC port , PCI USB interface and or D_link is pretty inconsistent.
I just wonder ( rhetorical question only ! ) if newer versions of Windows work better?

When my system is restarted then my screen brightness goes to 0 %
I tested all possibilities like setting up for screen resolutions , Swapping Motherboards , swapping Processors , Even i had swapped RAM Three times engineer came and they are also doing same procedure which i have done earliest
Please give some advice and solution

Because we don't have access to your system it is nearly impossible to find the reason.
It is also unclear what 'restart' means (power on, reboot from BIOS, OS).
But I can give you some tips to narrow down the source of the problem:
- Check if it is the monitor by using another one and/or connecting the monitor to another system.
- Do the same for the VGA/DVI/HDMI cable.
- Check if it is the system itself by activating the BIOS and reboot from there.
- Check if it is your OS by booting from a live system (from DVD or USB stick) and reboot/restart from within the live system.
Once you have narrowed down the source, you may search the web for help.

From an Access application, I am trying to generate a ".accde" file using VBA from a ".accdb" file. I´m using the "app.SysCmd 603, INPATH, OUTPATH" method, but always returns 0 and do not works.
Any idea how to fix it?

Obviously I can do it so, but I need to do it through VBA code to automate the process.

Make sure that your database has no code errors (go into a VB code module and run Compile from the Debug menu) - you cannot create an executable database if there are any code errors

Thanks, it was a stupid mistake when compiling the application.
Now everything works perfectly.

Has anyone here created a network router out of an old XP machine? I've found some posts about how to do it, but before I start, I wanted to ask for recommendations.
Would I be better off installing Linux for this project, or can I find good NAT software for XP?
