In that case, the post I responded to was wrong. Dyndns is for DHCP addresses, which may change. My connection is also DHCP, but changes so seldom, it's virtually static. However, on the DNS service I use, I created a CNAME alias that points to my firewall's host name, which never changes as it's based on the firewall and modem MAC addresses.
Mine is based on the current IP.
Here's my host name. The MAC addresses have been hidden to protect the guilty. ;-) CPE<firewall MAC>-CM<modem MAC>.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com
That host name will only change if I change the hardware.
Yeah, you are lucky. Mine is written by the ISP, I have no access, and it is based on the current IP I may have at the time. I have: A.B.C.D.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer A.red-D-C-B.dynamicip.rima-tde.net. where A, B, C, and D are numbers forming the IP address. And it changes as soon as the router resets or power goes down, which happens often because it crashes or locks I have to power cycle it. This is what I have seen here on most places that do not pay a fixed address. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
