Great, easy to understand, article. I have followed all of the instructions but still have one problem.


I have cable access and was told that my ip
address changes every 30 minutes ( is this dynamic?). I am also using a router.


I can get to my web page ok from this computer with my mac's ip address, but cannot from another computer over the internet.


It is my understanding that my computer is communicating with the router and the router communicates with the internet.


Is the problem with the changing ip address, my router, or something else?

    Yes, a changing IP is called a dynamic IP. If you were always assigned the same IP upon connect, you'd have a static IP.

    Unfortunately, that's about all I can reply to in this message. I'm a bumpkin when it comes to networking - I'm good at the stuff that runs over it ;) ...

    I use www.dyndns.org

    its very easy and free - and solve the problem but the dyndns client update your ip just every 10 min

    if you have question to that
