Hello all, We just got our vdsl, internet and tv, I love it. However, with UsWest we can't get static ip's with our vdsl. I previously had static ip's with my isdn line. Is there a way to use my static ip's with vdsl or is there a good service I can use that will push my domain name into dns servers everytime my ip changes so I can always connect using my domain name without having to work about the ip? Thanks in advance. Joel Hanger Kevin Brown wrote: > yes you can have it redirect requests sent to port 23 to other systems (even if > they aren't behind it, heheh). Just use NAT.
