Is it possible to order a second static IP address?
Thanks
Mat

Business Customers can request Static IP Blocks (where available).

I will try and explain the reason why.
I use a static IP address as I have a small network storage box that I can access out and about.
A friend of mine would like to join plusnet but has to wait until the fiber is connected to his building (he has his order in)
My firend also has a box for storage and would like to access this anywhere.
As they are between addresses (it get's complicated) I said I would look into getting a second static IP address so his box will be online. Once he has his own connection then there would be no need for a second IP address.
Iam just trying to help everyone out.
Help my friend get his box online
Help plusnet get a new customer
Just trying to help out!

Why not use the same IP and route it via a different incoming port? You don't think you need an IP for every server on the internet do you?

wan port 8080 > lan ip 192.168.1.1 port 80
wan port 8081 > lan ip 192.168.1.2 port 80
etc etc.
There are ways round the issue.

Quote from: MathewRB Well I could only ask the question! Its a shame Plusnet is a little short sited but not my lose
hardly short sighted. you're trying to do something well out of the ordinary.
besides, you don't need to IP addresses to do what you want.
you don't even need 1 static IP to do it, at the very least it could be down with a normal IP alongside a service like DynDNS.
take the advice given to you already and do it the correct way.
