Joel, Go check out http://www.dns2go.com. Swtup up a new free account for your domain. Choose to use your primary. The only thing you will need is to change your ns server numbers the register.com. replaced with dns2g0 ns number. They have a program taht using if=up/ip-up/ppp-on... etc that you can launch and will automatically report you ip address and even offers mail routing (no staorage unless you pay) and port redirect as well. Best of all, its FREE 8^) HTH, -- Bill Day ( a.k.a.
