Is anyone else having problems with a changing IP address?
I've had the Home Internet service for 3 months now and I'm generally happy with it, but one thing is rather annoying. The external IP address that gets assigned to my gateway keeps changing. This ha...
I just switched to T-Mobile 5G internet service 3 weeks ago from years wirh CenturyLink DSL.
The speed is definitely an upgrade, however, I came upon 2 problems.
1. My HP Printer would not accept the PW from my T-Mobile router. I had to create a new Gateway which fixed that problem.
2. When trying to upload new files, music to my personal website, my FTP programs could not find the server. After contacting my ISP, they said they found this:
"Please be informed that your WAN IP has been blacklisted by Spamhaus ZEN, refer to the following link:"

Tech support for T-Mobile ran a check and have no answers for my IP being blacklisted. But upon further communications with T-Mobile, they told me this 5G internet has a "dynamic" IP address (forgive me if I'm not exact) and not a "static" IP address. And cannot be made to have a static IP address.
Bummer. I NEVER had these issues for 20 years before changing to T-Mobile. Looks like I'll be looking for another internet company unless someone has any suggestions.
