As an aside - what do you do to keep track of your IP? I have a consumer-grade router (running Tomato firmware) between "the world" and myself, so the router actually gets the IP.
Is there some automated solution to keep track of this?
Thanks.
- dangrossman 15y agoI've had Comcast at 5 different apartments and only once did my IP address ever change while living at the same address, after a prolonged maintenance period when they ran new physical cables in my neighborhood. The IPs are semi-static, and I would notice immediately if my IP changed since I have deny requests from any IP but my own to several webpages of mine. Plus the IP address in the copyright infringement notice had a rdns hostname corresponding to an entirely different state.

- notaddicted 15y agoDynamic dns effectively keeps track of it, but it won't record it: http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-free/ http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-free/ On a sidenote, one way to get a new IP is to go into the router control panel and change that MAC address.
