Hi Diez Thanks for your insight. The reason I chose the awkward method to parse the ip digits is that I was not familiar with the regex module and the Dyndns Ip page is pretty simple page. I guess it is time to learn more about the Re module.
As far as robustness, I agree with your assestment. I guess my main confusion with my result is that the console window just disappears. I wonder if I can make the window stay even if it crashesor if there are connection issues? I will createa seperate log file to see if I can catch any issues in a log file. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
