Didn't he say DSL? My DSL changes IP addresses. I was thinking about getting something like http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html .... so I could have a hostname to give to people when and if I try to remotely support them using a reverse connection VNC Does anyone else use that? I have not figured out yet how I would make my machine report into the DNS service above. Is it easy to do? I had experimented with running a server on my machine here to learn how to do it. I had to change firewall settings on my Router, on top of port mapping to make it work (Filter Internet NAT Redirection).
