Re: External IP Address



instead of doing it that way, which i should say is a novel approach, why
not get a domain name registered for your box.  check www.dyndns.org there
you can register a domain like my-computer.dyndns.org even if you have a
dynamic ip address.

in short, your users don't have to find out what your current ip address is.
just remember the name.
