I have an account with dyndns.org I have a program running that notifies them of my IP when I dialup through Earthlink. Earthlink's DNS servers apparently know about it sooner than I can get to a command line to check. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.health.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau/ _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
