There is another thing to solve this problem if you really want to use a
dynamic ip address.
I have used it before when ml.org was still alive. They offer dynamic ip
address resolution. So, I just grabbed their script which makes use of lynx.
The lynx's parameter include username & password, and the obtained dynamic
ip address. Changes on their part (DNS) takes 5 minutes.
ml.org does offer static ip address too. I have another one, I just don't
know if they're still offering dynamic ip address resolution. Mine is at
http://onie.yi.org. Same thing with ml.org. Another one, is
www.namezero.com, they're offering free domain. I'm planning to redirect it
somewhere but I haven't tried it yet. http://www.ronneilcamara.com
Tip, you have lynx forward the dynamic ip address of the m$oft box. :-)
hope this helps...
