You should have. If your ISP gives you the same address all the time, then they can call you chris.wolfe.brownes.org ( or whatever ). If they give you a diffrenet one then they can call the IP dialupXXX.whatever.com. >I'm not aware that my ISP puts an entry into their DNS tables when I log in. >They may, but if they don't... They don't need to change it every time - if its a generic IP it deserves a generic address. If its your IP it deservers your name. David.
