Good afternoon,
I have a question about DSL -- a few weeks ago, I got a DSL connection at our office from Verizon, it's a 'small business' DSL, meaning its just for browsing purposes from what they say. Their offer is a DHCP DSL connection, which our computers share over a hub via PPPoE or whatever it's called.
My question is -- I need to host a web server on this DSL connection for business purposes, obviously as its a business DSL. However, because of the connection's DHCP nature, I'm not sure how to make it so that the incoming line that comes in becomes a static IP or something. I talked with Verizon and they said they don't offer static IPs for their DSL connections and that if we wanted a static connection, we would have to get a T1 (ranges from $500+, something that is definitely not an option for us).
Now, is there any way I can make that DHCP connection into a static IP or something to connect to the web server so I can host the website in-house? Would some sort of hardware router, or something else work? Please let me know as soon as possible, as we are running out of options.
Thanks in advance!
