Can be true but not always the case. I've had the same IP address for at least a month now (also use major UK ISP 'Virgin Media' which assigns dynamic IPs) & I also power the cable modem down each day. I've not experienced any permanent problem posting to the blog btw, although it does often hang on a blank page after posting & I have to access the page again to check.

You can find what the world sees your IP address as (ie regardless of whether you're behind a NAT router or not), by visiting Gibson Research's Shields Up! page... it's also a damned good site for information & checking your pc/network security!
