ok, I'll work on getting this thing changed over to a static. I don't want to use the cable company because they want $100/mo for it. There is a local company that offers wireless DSL with a static for about $50/mo but I don't know if it would be secure enough to run a sever on. Also since I'm in Kansas I don't know what the weather would do. They've tested my house and say I have a great signal if I choose to use their service. I already have one domain registered with go-daddy.com but I haven't registered the other yet. I really appreciate all your help on this Lanman
