Now Reading: The 21st-Century Intranet
Experiments at DynamicDNS.org
I've been poking around at DynamicDNS.org and setup an account. The system reads the IP from my router (which, at the moment, is static.) I've also been looking into client software. Most seem to account for the fact that they need to read the IP address from the router's WAN connection, not the local machine, so I don't think NAT is going to be a problem. Still, needs some experimentation.Dynamic DNS.John Robb and Terry Frazier have both mentioned dynamic dns recently. This is handy for people of dialup/cable modems as it allows them to keep a DNS entry even though their IP address changes from time to time. I had a go with a company called TZO who offer the same service at a fairly low rate. My Dad just mentioned DtDns to me & they offer this service free.
The only reason I didn't register was that I'm not sure Dynamic DNS will be of use when I buy a cable router. It won't be able to run the dynamic DNS client and my own machine will be using NAT so the IP address won't be valid.
Anyone know of a way around that? [
