ntl don't allow servers on the residential network. You could use a dynamic dns Service.

A better question might be, why does your friend need a static IP in the first place?

NTL do kind of give a static ip, but it's not guaranteed. Mine changed recently, probably something to do with all the upgrades they've been doing, but I don't think it had ever changed before that (with them about a year).
