Trust me. it's easy. They may not be doing it now but they ought to be
and probably will at some point. Besides it's rude to steal an IP in
this manner. However, if you can get it DHCP-assigned then bob's your
Uncle. If you can find a 68.14.x.x address that you're connected to,
you can get your dhcp client to request this address and possibly obtain
it if it is indeed free. This will bug no one and is perfectly legit.
once you get the lease, I can tell you firsthand that it is highly
unlikely to change presuming you're not one to power off your firewall.

You misunderstand my post. That is the last time my address changed.
How many months ago was that?
