I'll attest to that. I run a SmoothWall router/firewall which integrates all the major dynamic dns clients and updates every time its IP changes, and when booting up.

BTW, Cox likes to call their service Cox.net now, to seperate themselves from the old @Home network. On Tue, 2004-06-22 at 20:51, Kevin Brown wrote: > >>They still use the external address.
