thisispete Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hi guys, At work we can only get a dial up connection, no broadband :( and our ISP wont assign us a static IP What we are after is a program that can post our current IP to a webpage, or file?, so that we can host this page with the posted IP where out website and mail is hosted so that we are out onsite on a network, we can go to that page, get the IP and VPN into our server at work and get programs and synchronize our exchange mail. I cant find anything that can do this, and preferably on Windows 2000 server. Our linux server isnt always on the net so its probably not the best to put a script on or whatever. We've checked through our Advanced server docs and theres not a lot on there that will help us, so im hoping someone out there knows how to do it, or a way that this or something similiar can be done. thanks people :whistle: peeete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surley this is worse, with the service i have emailed to you it is asigned a domain name, you could even make that domain name a string of numbers if you wanted, so it would be just the same as an ip address, no one would know unless you gave it to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
