The Linksys wireless router may well run Linux, so you might be OK. :-) Dynamic DNS is the proper solution to this, and there are several free onces out there that the Linksys should work with - basically the router tells the dynamic DNS host what its IP is everytime it changes. I think http://zoneedit.com/ is supported by the router, depends on FW version etc. so you'd have to research.
One gotcha, unfortunately, is that in several (many) versions of the firmware the update client fails to update if the address does not change for a while, and the dynamic DNS services will drop the record if not updated for a while (a month or so for the one I use, dyndns.org I think.) --DTVZ On 6/14/07, sean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hope no one objects to the non Linux question? > > > My small local library has a web site which is hosted for them. > On their site there is a link to bring up their catalog online. > The system for this database is located inside the library. > > Here is the problem. > The local ISP they use, Comcast, gives them a free connection, but the > address is dynamic. > When on that time the address renews and is not the same, they link to > the online catalog cannot be reached.
