Does anybody know a way or "hack" to keep your host name
if your host name is static but your ip is dynamic? When I join the irc
it always says dal1-??.conline.com instead of zeid.conline.com. Or when
I fire up netscape and point my browser to http://zeid.conline.com netscape
can't even find my computer when it's running on it. I have to point my browser
to my actual ip address or dal1-??.conline.com. Is this possible to do
with a dynamic ip? Thanks :)
