True but it has too be done, as annoying as it may be. The vb staff are doing all they can on this matter, we just have too be patient

And what about those of us with dynamic IPs?

Use a proxy server at this time.

Then we will never get on.

My cable company doesn't change the IP so much, but it DOES change.

Brad,

Would you elaborate a little on this. I'm using Windows XP.

Also what is the best way to determine what the dynamic IP address I'm currently on. How often does it change? I'm using a Linksys wireless router. Thanks.

Hi Andy,

If I may, go to your DOS screen. Then type in IPCONFIG.
You'll see something like this:

Windows IP Configuration

Connection-specific DNS configuration...........:YOUR ISP.whatever
IP Address........................................... ..........:10.10.10.25 (or your IP range)
Subnetmask........................................ ..........: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway........................................... : 10.10.10.1

If your run say behind a Linksys router like I do, goto your admin screen.
Next click on status and it will show your IP to the internet.

Hope that helps!

That did help. :)

I wonder how often the IP address changes? I thought it being dynamic it changes everytime I unplug the router.

Not necessarily, I think it is more on a timed thing than anything.

I'm glad it helped, feel free to E-Mail or PM if you have more questions.

Happy New Year!
