Gentleman, Being new here I hope I don't step on any toes (offering an opinion on a commercial service)- but here goes: For almost two years I used tzo.com for my dynamic hosting, they sent a small script that reports your IP back to their sever and it worked 100% of the time for me. The only thing I could not do using the service was run my own BIND. I think the cost was around 50 US a year but far cheaper then the extra $120 a month verizon is charging for a static IP! Just my 2 cents worth, Hope that gives you another option- Good luck Brad ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott A Runnels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "James Z" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 1:48 PM Subject: Re: dhcp
