Second line required for broadband only

robt_2

Personally I didn't say or suggest it was not a legitimate need. I asked because there are probably easier alternatives to achieve the end result. But your description has just made things even more complicated so I can't help.

Robt, I really do appreciate any suggestions which you or other posters have made; and as I have said, I am no "techie". But when I made the OP, I knew exactly what it was that I required; a second line which sends out a new IP address each time I reboot the router. Alternatives have been explored, but without success.

So, I am still looking for a recommendation as to which provider I should go with for my second line.

Have the clients run logmein - https://secure.logmein.com/products/free/ that way you will be using their machine with their genuine IP address.

Something to consider if you get a BT connection. If you regularly disconnect the router, BT may think it to be a line fault and reduce your BRAS profile which in turn will lower your sync, then your speed. Ever decreasing circle as you need a stable connection for 2- 3 days before it rises again. If you go for a BT line, go for a LLU operator as they do no operate BRAS and the speed you sync at the exchange will be the download speed (subject to contention).

Thanks for the further recommendations and tips, guys!

Why not just go through a proxy or an anonymiser? Even those ISP's that use dynamic ip's do not always change them at every reboot! (this is making the assumption that you are using a browser based application!).

smcaul makes a good point. My ISP is dynamic and doesnt change up EVERY reboot. If i do it daily then it seems to work sometimes.
