Among other data is your ip address, and anything that changes that is going to throw up additional are you "you" checks. > > https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Trinity_Desktop_Environment > > What does anyone's ISP have to do with that? How your ISP determines your assigned ip is part of dhcp which your router uses to obtain an ip address from your ISP. Change the router, which changes its MAC address, and you'll get a different ip. I have two routers in case one gets a tummy ache. In order to maintain a fixed address when somebody clicks on the web link in my sig, I've had to clone the MAC of the main router into the MAC of the backup router. I am not paying for a dynamic registration, and haven't for 15 years. I'm not saying thats your problem, but it would be close to the top of my list of things to check if something went toes up.
