Now correct me if I'm wrong but at least my bridge setup file has a DNS address in it, not an IP address. Will Johnny's bridge not work against a DynDNS type setup?

Sorry, but no.
While I do name lookups, I'm not doing it for every packet that goes out, or comes in. It's done at startup, and when the config file is re-read. So if someones address change, the bridge program will "stop working".

Hello all ...

After a bit of communication with a list member off-list, it seems that my dynamic IP address scenario is going to throw a wrench into the works regarding getting on to HECNet.   Would someone know of a dynamic-address friendly method?     I have DSL here, and switching to cable isn't an option as they block ports and are generally nasty around here.   Static DSL is a last resort option as I'd rather not double my DSL bill if I don't have to.

I do not want anyone to have to "babysit" my connection to the network - if there's any babysitting to be done, I'll do it - or write some DCL to automate it, or what-have-you.

Do I have any options?

Cheers,

Fred
