I'm confused now (not helped that it's been one of those days) - where's the two different IP ranges coming from?
I'm told by Nildram that 62.3.253.44 is a framed IP that refers to our range of 8 fixed IP's which is 82.133.105.240 - 82.133.105.247.
Edit: As I mentioned earlier, the PPP light doesn't come on with the 82.133.105.241/255.255.255.248 configuration, unless I change it to 62.3.253.44/255.255.255.0. The PPP light then remains lit if I change it back to 82.133.105.241/255.255.255.248. However, last night the internet connection appeared to drop overnight, and the PPP light was out on the router when I arrived this morning. A quick change of the IP config to 62.3.253.44/255.255.255.0, and the internet connection and PPP light came back online. I've changed it back again now to 82.133.105.241/255.255.255.248 and things are working.
So, using one of the range of IP's instead of the framed IP appears to have stability issues, while running a port scan from home on the 82.133.105.241 IP address still says that only the FTP port is open, which I haven't opened.
I'm so lost.
Appreciate everyone's input
