NI-specific IP address for RTE Player?

I can't access RTE player as my ip is based in england, can I get issued a northern ireland specific ip address if I add a static ip address to my account?

I'm currently watching a program about extreme commuters on RTÉ Player. I live in Sheffield.
Have you tried dropping and re-establishing your PPP session?

RTÉ Player is working on my static IP address in Essex !
There are some interesting programs there, I will have to visit the site more often  Smiley

Re: NI-specific IP address for RTE Player?

Robin says, you are probably on a IP address that isn't being picked up as UK when it should.  PN has a few of those at the moment, a router reboot can help to get a new IP adress if you have a dynamic IP.  But don't do that too many times or BT will cripple your speeds.

[pedant mode]
You shouldn't reboot, you lose sync with the exchange, you should Gateway hop by Disconnecting your PPP Internet session and then Connecting again by logging into your modem/router Internet Interface.

Re: NI-specific IP address for RTE Player?

I don't know why you put the [pedant mode] markers - it is very sensible advice!

@iambatman, as mentioned by Chris - If you raise a support ticket for my attention I will get this sorted for you without you having to gateway hop.
