Hello all, From what I can tell, few laptops have three mouse buttons with the most common one appearing to be a ThinkPad. Could anyone with a three mouse button laptop please comment on its comfort, for lack of a better term? The ThinkPad third button appears to be above, rather than below

Rich, At a more fundamental level, updating the DNS server is just a matter of putting the new IP address in a url and accessing that url. Here is the relevant explanation. http://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/29/11/how-to-use-the-browser-to-dynamically-update-hosts-ip Bil
