Sorry - no answer to your problem, but your post raises another question for me. From my reading of the dyndns page, I thought that they could only redirect to an address within predefined domains. Hence my post and Civ's reply. >From what you say above though, it sounds like dyndns could in fact associate my IP with my registered domain. So now I'm confused as to what whyI does that dyndns does not. I'm not concerned really about who I end up using, just about understanding the difference. Brian
