List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Janina, Unfortunately, it would seem your friend may have a bigger problem than just the practical inability to use a service like dyndns for consistent domain name resolution. Each time a device's IP address changes, any TCP sessions or UDP streams will cease to function. They will have to be re-established using the new IP address. Does your friend complain of constant "loss of connectivity" or similar networking issues despite using a "always on" DSL service? Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications!
