I have my own domain (cybertouch.org) and will today, have a cable modem installed. In addition, my son and myself have set up our own little ethernet. My question is with the following dns entry and host file, what can i do to still be user@cybertouch.org if the wave company only gives dynamic IP address's? This is my dns file. What do I have to change to make it work right? cybertouch.org.
