I believe you are asking if you can use Linux as a Web Server (for example) if you have dynamic IP address. The answer is yes. You just need to subscribe to a Dynamic DNS Service. My system is on ADSL and I subscribe to easydns.com. When ever my IP address changes my system contacts easyDNS and updates its DNS entry. There is a time lag of about 10 minutes. Works very well....for the most part. There could be problems if the other end wanted/needed to do a reverse lookup as that would fail. Also, some ISPs will block you from running a service. So, best to check to see what your ISP allows. Ed _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
