problem with changing IP address

[bbacher]

We have a regular group of 6 people, playing every Monday night. I always host the game on my computer and everyone connects via Direct IP connection.

On my broadband connection, my IP address changes occasionally. It's a pain making sure everyone connecting to the game has the right IP address.

Is there any way that I give everyone one IP address and have that always connect to my variable address? I've heard that DDNS can do that, but I don't know anything about it.

My router (Linksys RT41-BU) has a DDNS option, but it's disabled.

Thanks for any help/ideas.

You need to get in touch with your ISP and request a Static IP. If they won't give you one, change to a provider who will. This may cost a bit of money though.

For $Aust 10 a month I get a static IP = pretty good value...
