Want a static IP address?

Want a static IP address but cant be arsed forking out for static IP charges? http://www.no-ip.com lets you have the benifits without the costs.

In a nutshell - a small service you install on your PC updates a WAN side DNS server with the current WAN IP address of your router (still with me?). When you set up an account you choose a DNS name and hey presto - easy permanant access to your home network, any where, any time (your need to tinker with your firewall and port forwarding settings first).

Best of all its free :D

No all I have to do is get my finger out and finish off that website.

Disclaimer - having your computer permanantly attached and accessible from the internet opens you up to all kind of nasties. Make sure you know what your doing before you make port 80 a free for all

I second that - they offer a very good service.....plus you can have an address like yourname.servebeer.com which has got to be a bonus :)
