There is a free/commercial service which could solve the dynamic IP
problem when some people are running website from home machine with
cable/dsl connection. Go to no-ip.com to take a look. Once a little
program is up-running at your home machine, it'll check the dynamic IP
and automatically match the domain name to changed IP which happens for
residential cable/dsl account.

I retract my previous statement concerning TimeWarner.

And, I'm going to go out on a limb on my manager's behalf, and say that
neither of us cares to be labeled as an asshole (well, maybe
sometimes it's
okay, but this isn't one of them). Trust me, we have better things
to do
than hunt you down to mess with you. Why your IP may have changed,
I'm not
sure, but it could have to do with some need to move IP scopes between
CMTSes, a power outage at your location, or a number of other
possibilities,
all of which are hazards of having a residential, or non-static IP
commercial account. If you depend on that static IP, look into a
commercial
account. If you continue to purchase residential service, then caveat
emptor. Sorry, but them's the brakes.
I'm not trying to be contentious here. I just happen to take
exception when
somebody blames "someone at TimeWarner", especially when that someone
is me.
