markwolfe Veteran Posted March 12, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 12, 2004 Do you own a domain name? That is the first step. And for the Dynamic IP thing, you will have to either get a Static IP from your ISP (most ISPs forbid using their service to run a server in their Terms & Conditions), or use a service that will constantly update themselves to match up your Domain Name to your ever-changing IP address. It was posted here before (by kemical????) but I never remember where it is because it doesn't apply to my needs. :whistle: Hope this helps a bit...
