It's not hard, it's just expensive, depending on your ISP. For example, M-net (Bavaria) charges EUR 14.90 (~ USD 22) per Month for a static IP. Right now they have a special 50% offer, so it's only EUR 7.45 per month if you sign up with them now. On the other hand, for most private stuff a dynamic IP with something like dyndns service should be sufficient, I think. That's what i do. I'm not running any public services on my home machine, though, but the dyndns name enables me to ssh into it from somewhere else. Personally I decided to rent a root server for EUR 50 (from Hetzner) which includes a /29 with six static IPs. It's shared with three friends, so each of us pays only EUR 12,50 which is cheaper than a static IP with M-net, and it has a lot more bandwidth than my DSL box at home. Of course I replaced the Linux installation on the root server with FreeBSD. ;-) Best regards Oliver PS: I'm not affiliated with any of the above companies, and I don't benefit from mentioning them. I'm just a satisfied customer. -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
