I can call my ISP to get a new IP, but if I just reset the router I keep the same one. If my issues continue I will do that, but things seem OK now. -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
