Just one more bit to add to this - regardless of who you get your broadband from they all assign dynamic address' (the 214.xxx.xxx.xxx bit - unless you pay for a static one, prices vary I think Eircom charge €50/year). The 214.xxx address can and often is changed by the ISP without you knowing. You can get around this by setting up with one of the free services that monitor your IP, such as dyndns.org (no association).car said:Ive got a BT router which has an IP address assigned say 241.xx.xx.xx,
Spock said:These work by you creating an account and setting up an address, such as ip-camera-at-my-house.dyndns.org, you download a piece of software that sits on your PC and updates the IP address on dyndns.org's servers, say once a day, that way the ip-camera.... address is always correct. So instead of typing in the numbers (IP address) from your faraway location, you type in the ip-....dyndns.org address instead.
