This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Thanks for the details.

Yeah, ISP routers suck. You wouldn't believe how bad the one I use is. If you turn off DHCP on the router you lose the ability to set the router's IP address and netmask. (And the netmask is locked to a /32). The only way to set the router's IP address is to turn on DHCP, while DHCP is on set the router's address, and then turn off DHCP. Needless to say, the router's DHCP is completely off.
