Not very long, at least for me, I think. I signed up Tokyu Cable's
cable modem service. Before I signed up I called their support and
asked about getting a static IP. They said they are working on it. Ok,
I told him, I can use dynamic DNS in the meantime.

Well, I finally started playing with it today. I tried to telnet from
work to the DHCP assigned IP address. No luck!

  inet addr:172.16.49.239  Bcast:172.16.51.255 Mask:255.255.252.0

As long as there is traffic, I can keep renewing the lease
indefinitely, but I can't see of from outside catv.ne.jp :(

Could still be a routing problem, I suppose. I was trying to find some
reference to what IP address are for private use. I think 192.168.1 is
ok, but what about other classes? 

Dejected, ( rejected ??? )
