[Cialug] SED replace IP help

[Stuart Thiessen]

Why not use dyndns.com to give you a static name for that server? Then 
you can use one of their update clients or manually update the IP from 
time to time. That is what I do for our videophone. As a deaf person, I 
need a public IP in order for other deaf to call me on the videophone, 
but I don't want to pay for the static IP address. So I set up a 
dynamic DNS name through dyndns.com. I hear that there is another 
service called no-ip, but I have had good success with dyndns.com that 
I never checked that other one out.

You can set up one account for free and then I think you can have as 
many names under that account as you need. They have other DNS based 
services too if it will help. Those are mostly for charge.  I get my 
domain names through them also as a way of supporting them for 
providing our dynamic DNS names.
