Does he check the name rather than the IP address? If he can do a dns lookup rather than an ip address check then use one of the dynamic DNS providers. I use www.dyndns.org you can register a domain name for free and use that to log in from the outside. He can verify it is you by the correct domain name rather than the ip address.
I use this for logging into other systems that are ADSL based etc. Regards David Logan Database Administrator HP Managed Services 139 Frome Street, Adelaide 5000 Australia +61 8 8408 4273 - Work +61 417 268 665 - Mobile +61 8 8408 4259 - Fax -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 5 August 2004 2:15 AM To: u2-Users Subject: [U2] Univere Login Security Hi all, A buddy of mine wants me to be able to login to his computer on a routine basis to give him a hand with some development. Currently, he has a process that matches the ip address to the username and if it does not match, the user gets booted. The problem that I have is that my ip address is dynamic. Given the fact that this is a unix machine that I will be logging into, I assume that I cannot use a mac address or anything like that, Can someone out there give me a simple and effective solution for this?
