Be careful of the DHCP upgrade, and you'll need to verify that you have a
static IP address.
Out here in So Cal - its Cox Cable.... when it first hit Orange County they
offered Static IP to their customers - then came the demand, then router and
network "upgrades", and the advent of DHCP servers being implemented.
It really sucked cuz I was running sql server, IIS CF on my home box for dev
and, like a fool I let the Cox at home people talk me into installing their
"upgrade" software. Hosed SQL server - they tried to change the NT4
computer name. If you've run sql server and tried this with out planning
ahead of time you know this ia major NO-NO. No prob once the machine name
was changed back... but that required them giving me back my STATIC IP, and
bailing on DHCP.
All this tripe.. just to let you know there is a way to get a static ip out
of them. Just tell them your some GURU MS SQL dba and you absolutley must
leave the machine name as is - else it will hose 2 years worth of sql server
development... therefore they need to give a static ip... anyways that
worked for me.
>From there... I have a friend who runs a low traffic site off his cable
modem.. use a domain service that redirects from his domain name to his
cable modem IP.
I think security should be of concern when doing this. Your pretty much
wide open, especially on WinX
