Well If I understand correctly, I have 2 static IP's that are mine So I wonder 
if this would work.

But then again, on the other hand I don't think DHCP would renew itself every 
20 minutes or so. I lose connection very frequently. sometimes 10 minutes, 5 
minutes etc etc. I can't get a pattern here at all.
