Verizon FIOS: Hurray - What? - Fuck!
Yesterday I finally had fiber optic internet service (FIOS) installed at home but, of course, I need a static IP address to run my web and mail server. The euphoria started to go down as soon as I realized that my installer did not have a clue how to install a static IP address. At the end he left me with a barely working internet router that only worked to the point that I could access it with a DHCP client. I tried for several hours to configure the router so that I would be able to use my static IP addresses on a client of that router but to no avail. I am not a hardcore Internet expert but so far I mostly got around things. But this time I failed not only because all the names on that box where quite different to the equipment I was used to but also because I was not able to set a static IP address on the LAN side of the router. If I switched that side to a static IP address everything went south.
