    Oh i see, so how would you know if your ISP was using NAT? Other than having to check your IP every now and then. Probably best for the OP to look into this and figure out a way to change services if this is the case.

    It is one way to easily check if you have nat. Log into your router and check in the port forward menu. I got 2 internets in my home, 2 ips, if i log from one computer to the other, and forget being on the same net, i get this mail from SE. And some times, it is extremely annoying xD

    It would be kind of tough, because its not information you could get from the ISP, they dont like giving that information out, all you could do is download a program that shows your global IP and restart your router and PC a few times, which should give a differant IP address.

    Or this could work but it may only show your local IP address.

    Why download a program? ip-adress.com shows your ip, the global, not local one.
    Plug out router for 30 min, log on. If you a new ip then, that means you have a changing ip, and uses NAT.

    I actually remember having IP changed upon resetting the router with a previous service, but im talking about like an IP change whether or not you resetted the router.

    IP addresses have a lease expiry time then they are reset using DHCP, some ISPs will give a new one every so often to prevent people using an internet facing server on the network beacause they need a static global ip.

    I didnt mean for this to get into a highly technical discussion, just a thorey lol.
