I have just swapped to a fixed IP address and note that it has an associated Machine Name, presumably from a previous owner, which can be used to identify me on the net. Can this be removed so that only the IP address is broadcast to the world?

Thanks very much. It's support like this that keeps many of us with PN despite the price rises, etc. etc.

There's a specific ticket path to request such changes which includes details of all the options.
Shame they've made the crass decision to remove access to that!

Very interesting,
It would be helpful if this link was clearly shown on the page where you upgrade to a fixed IP. If it's there then I missed it.
