The dyndns service support is built into the netgear rt314 router which seems to work quite well with @home

I already pay them through the nose for digital cable and internet service. If I have to live with DHCP, I guess I can. Now it's time to revamp all the firewall scripts, and then try to devise some way to automatically notify my DNS servers of a new DHCP lease and change IP's for my domain name... Fun, fun, fun. I wonder if I can send them a bill for this.

It's $59.95 a month, which is a little steep, but it avoids the whole "managed high speed interenet service" crapola. A friend of mine ran that conversion and found that the whole cox.net network was down at the time, according to their phone support. He had to revert to his @home settings to get back on the net. The cd also installed a rather busy monitoring software that (supposedly) watches the availability of the mail server, the web proxy, etc. I don't really need a daemon running on my windows desktop to know if I can get my mail, though. -- -j On Wed, 16 Jan 2002, Ricky Salmon wrote: > Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 08:50:43 -0800 > From: Ricky Salmon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [brluglist] Cox Cable > > Anyone here do the conversion from the @Home service to Cox?
