it seems that about every 3 months my ISP is down=or at least the network I am on. I find this quite irritating. Once it was down for 3 days and they had to manually type in the coorect ISP info on our computers; somehow that info was changed??????
Anyway, it is down again this morning. |

I take it this is at your school? Well there could be many factors there. Most likely an IT admin stuffed things up with the network. 
But at home in 3 years (at current location, I have been in Korea almost 7 years) my internet was down only for 1 day total down time. |

Home internet uses DHCP and there is nothing to type in. My school hard codes the IP addresses also. Why is this? |

Yeah, at home your IP is always assigned automacially from the ISP. Its a dynamic IP range.
At your school they most likely have some kind of router that they are using so your 'internal' IP's should be different from external. (If they were smart they would do it like this) I have noticed that Koreans for some darn reason like to assign static IP's. I guess its for control purposes so then they know what IP belongs to what user. Who knows...
Why they dont get with the program and use DHCP is beyond me. So much easier to manage with DHCP.
How many computers do you think they have in the school? |
