I was having the same issue here at where I work at University of Michigan. We had a server that I personally set up for my work there, (static IP), but then we got a new net admin for the building that changed some stuff - making the server ip dynamic which made the dns record useless. There are ways around this to make it work - but the admin wasn't willing to cooperate. well what im trying to get at in this email is i decided to grab a hostname from no-ip (http://www.no-ip.com) which is a free service that uses a program you install to keep their dns up to date when your ip expires or changes. They have mutiple domains you can pick from, or you can pay them to have your own. (I decided to pick the servebeer.com - http://lsupport.servebeer.com :-P) Ben Racine wrote: >I have recently set up a web server on my college network.
