Tutors,
I was looking into network programming, and I came across a
problem. Socket programs need an IP address to function correctly,
right? Well, IP addresses are always changing, so how should I go
about making sockets that will work for an extended period of
time? Thanks in advance!
If your IP address is changing that frequently, something is probably
wrong!
Your IP should basically stay the same from the time you connect to
the internet until the time you disconnect - longer if you use static IPs.
What are you attempting to program?

I'm trying to be a host without having to keep the computer on ALL
of the time. Acting as a "Dropbox" would be an example. My IP doesn't
change very often. It's stayed the same for days.
