How can you set up a server with a Comcast account if your IP address is not static and therefore subject to change without notice?
While I have dhcp, the assigned address stays the same for so long, it might as well be static. Also, while my address may change, my host name won't, as it's based on my mac address. So any host name look up will return the correct ip.
Say what? Maybe in your own (windows) network but not from outside. You need something like www.dyndns.org for reliable access on a dynamic ip. Host name means didly-squat. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
