RE: [PLUG] Re: help with domain on cable modem

 i figured out what is going on, and the bottom line is that you pretty much
have to pay money to get this to work, with a custom registered url.

for $30 dyndns.org will route all requests to your url to your dynamic ip.
however, and this is the part i don't really understand, most registrars
want to point your url to an ip address, so you must effectively allow
dyndns.org to take over for your registrar. i'm confued about how to do
this, but i've sent an email asking for help - so if i find out i'll let you
know.

I am sure this is an extremely dumb question, but I will ask anyway,
seeing 
as I am trying to do the exact same thing! :-) 

If your IP address to your modem changes weekly, how does Razler.com
know 
where to redirect to?
