If you are using a dialup modem connection your IP number will be dynamically assigned unless you have a static IP. Dynamic DNS addressing is a process whereby the DNS numbers are automagically determined by software protocols after you have connected to the number you dial to reach your ISP. Prior to being dynamically assigned an IP number your DNS numbers must first be addressed. Dynamic DNS addressing and dynamic IP assignment are not the same. They are separate processes. The latter process follows the former. Sam Heywood -- See our Big Gizmotimetemp at -- http://banners.wunderground.com/banner/gizmotimetempbig/US/VA/Mt_Jackson.gif
