Whatever Dray was implying - see below, he was clearly on about MDWS, I thought it was odd as surely the username would identify which line was which.

Correct, MDWS has no interest per se in the IP address although I don't know what the OS and Apache etc would make of file uploads via this method.

Well, the IP address detection is built into dslstats and it passes it on to MDWS because I get alerts from MDWS that I'm uploading from multiple IP addresses.

When using the 2 lines with load balancing can you not set each modem its own lan ip, so each instance of DslStats had its own mdws username, its own modem to connect to, and that way both would have their own separate wan ip. mdws shouldn't even be able to tell it's 2 lines from the same property.

edit: just noticed the flaw in that theory. The machine uploading would indeed alternate between the 2 ip's

Well I didn't write that facility in and no one else has written any of the code...

Nor does MDWS get any info on IP addresses from DSLStats that I'm aware of, nor does it need to.

You may well get notifications of duplicate uploads but that has no association with any IP address.

At the moment, all you are doing is confusing everyone...

Oh ok, sorry.

[tbailey2]

That's ok. And, I just realised that as you are already uploading, the rapidly changing IP addresses obviously don't worry the system at all 

[roseway]

I can confirm that DSLstats doesn't pass on the IP address to MDWS. The information is noted in the event log just for the user's own information.

Thanks, that clears up my thinking. Looking into this a bit deeper, I get the duplicate uploads warning when my W7 VM is receiving big updates from Microsoft and it runs out of resources. The only problem with my rapidly changing WAN IP address is that the ISP displayed by MDWS also changes rapidly

I plan to fix all this by setting up another VM and having 1 per modem.
