You might want to try www.dns2go.com or www.dydns.com or www.zoneedit.com
... or www.google.com/search?q=dynamic+dns+services
I use dns2go (paid - reasonable price - good service), zoneedit is free it appears, but I have not tested it.
Usually your ISP will want you to open a commercial account to provide you with a static IP address (read big bucks...), usually a dynamic DNS solution is cheaper unless you require the bandwidth up of a commercial account.
Though most "dynamic" addresses remain the same most of the time anyway on cable, but change more often on DSL I have found.

Actually, My IPs are static. I've had the ip 209.186.148.197 since October, 1998. Charter Sent me a bogus letter telling me I had to turn in my current (non DOCIS) modem for an IMPROVED(DOCIS) modem. This will allow them to take away my static IP address and be NO benifit to me. That's what Charter calls improved.... They said I needed to call by last weekend or my service might go out(it's a lie, they don't plan to discontinue service, they just want to scare me into changing modems, these are the modems they now use for their business customers...) My connection is still up. What happened is I called tech support and he noticed I still had a com21 ant that triggered the form letter. But I have better things to do than deal with charter...
I'm currently changing providers because Charter Communications wants to take my Static IP away(unless I get a business plan.($79/month. 1 static ip, 1500/256))
My new provider will give me 1500/256 for $59/month with 5 static addresses. They also do not block ports or do the other junk BellSouth does.(one static address is $5/month, 5 Static is $10/month)
That's why I'm moving my service. The problem is the connection is IFITL and it was supposed to be live by now. But BellSouth screwed up the connection. It should be fixed by Friday.
Anyway, I have already gotten Direct TV installed and as soon as Bellsouth fixes their mistakes, I'll dump Charter completely.
And if any one wants to know how I feel, RUN AWAY from Charter Communications. They bite. The only reason I stuck with them is I was grandfathered in a cheap plan(that's how I got the static ip).
I'm gonna pay a lot more for TV/ISP, but my family has already agreed that it's worth it.
Charter SUCKS,

Interesting to know. Is 256 up enough for a ventrillo server? I know a TS server will fast fill that, and an RWBS takes only a tiny fraction of it...
All ISPs will demand the use of DOCSIS2 compliant modems nowadays as most older modems are easily uncapped (tftp) by the user to provide full 10Mbit/5Mbit, thus it is to the benefit of all users on the network if everyone has a DOCSIS2 compliant modem as it is not as easy for one user on the network to steal bandwidth, effectively from everyone else on the network... therefore it is an "improvement".
You'll be hard pressed to find an ISP that does not use DOCSIS2 compliant modems anymore, they're foolish if they don't. A dynamic DNS service may still be handy as it solves the problem with minimal expense.
P.S. $59 US for 1500/256? ... I pay $110 CAN for 5000/500 dynamic (but really static) IP... Seems we still set the standard up here on the east coast... though it has been dropping, my first cable account was 5000/5000 static with a shell account!!!!

US $49 for 1500/256 dynamic
$54 for 1500/256 1 static
$59 for 1500/256 5 static
The IFITL does not require a modem... FCC also Caps IFITL at 1500/256(this may change with the new DSL & Cable higher speeds
I know most people's ips rarely give them a new address. But some ISPs are automatically resetng modems to rote IPs. to keep people from running servers.
I run some personal servers and don't want to deal with it. $10 for 5 IPs is a good deal...

it's back to 66.23.219.58.....

That is a good deal! My ISP charges $10 per for additional addresses (I went with a router)... anyway...

Still works great JD

Tried to log onto VT 3 times at different times, says cannot find server. It down?

Hmm, well, next day it's working fine..Never Mind.

**** Update *****
Saturday Oct, 23 7:00pm I will be making changes to my network. The server will go down(and maybe up and down in the evening). I will have it back up sometime before Sunday(one way or the other).
Thanks for your support...

The network should now be up and running... If any one has any issues connection, please let me know....

Please don't attack me for this, but I happen work for charter communications in the Louisville Tech support call center. If you have a Com21 Comport and are in a migration area, yes, we actually do plan to deactivate all Com21 ComPort non-DOCSIS hardware in those areas. If you are being warned of this action, please do get you modem replaced sooner rather than later, otherwise you'll be calling in with a service interruption one day only to find out that all Com21 cable routers in your area are no longer operational. Besides, a Com21 ComPort modem is only a one-way modem anyhow, receiving only on the cable, and needing a phone line to send data. Two way modems are better, as they don't occupy your phone line when you're online.

CaptJosh,
My Com21 modem was a two way modem. Some people in the atlanta area did have the com21 dial return modems, but I never had one.
Don't take this as an attack, but your post is kinda what's wrong with charter. Charter in Louisville is not charter in Atlanta. Charter in Roswell GA is not Charter in Snellville GA. You made a statement that you thought was right, but it is not correct.
You and many of the other Charter techs are Great People. The DSL reports fourm for charter is a great place to get charter support. The techs that visit there often try to fix prooblems, even on their own time.
The charter people are great, but the management is the pits. The billing dept is hell.
Anyway. I am a former charter customer. I now pay more for my service and could not be happier. To get my current package from charter, I would have had to gotten a business package and paid over $100 for it. No thanks.
Good luck to you, and I actually wish their customers well.

Sounds like you had a Com21 DOXport, which is DOCSIS compliant. Odd that there would be any kind of letter about a DOCSIS compliant modem. But then, I'm "just a phone tech support rep", so they don't tell me everything. But, as for saying that Charter in Atlanta is not the same as charter in Louisville you're mistaken. If you call tech support from Atlanta, you're going to get the Louisville call center. We handle the entire northeast and southeast regions for High Speed Data service phone tech support. Charter is a national cable provider, the third largest behind Comcast and one other that I can't remember off the top of my head. Funny that' I'd be working for them with as much as I dislike MS, seeing as Charter was founded by Paul Allen. Scary, huh?

Nope, still works great. And thanks for keeping the service up. I don't use it (normally), but I do believe many do. :thumbsup:

Yea had a minor issue few weeks ago, guess that explains it. Was working fine after just a few days of downtime.
Thanks for keeping it humming along near 100% :thumbsup: :rwoot:

@#$%^&*( Ventrilo!! I can't get logged on to it. Keep getting: Unable to activate DirectSound for the selected device. DirectSoundCaptureCreate failed, hr = 88780078
Won't even let me set the dadgummed thing up like I used to have.

Try reinstalling DirectX 9.0c from the Microsoft DirectX web site.

Okee. Got my new system that runs like a scalded cat in a dog pound. Now for my next question, and please, remember that I am really stupid on computers - how can I set up multiple user accounts on Ventrilo, so when I am not on it one of my boys can be?
-
I believe you simply add a new name to the opening box. After that, click on the drop-down arrow and select the name you want to use for that session.
Never actually tried that, tho... ;)

VT is down, at least as of 6:25 EST....

JD's VT server is down, I sent an email to him about it, but no response yet and it's been a few days.
For now, we'll have to use the Dnet TS.

Um...you can probably unsticky this thread now...
