   Methinks it's you that are trying to confuse the discussion. This is exactly what you wrote as a comment to what I posted:

really??? i've always done that as long as i've had a public IP address... it was a simply matter of updating my DDNS entry and that was done by running a tool that stayed in the background and handled the updates automatically... yes, i ran servers on my dialup... most of the time, the new IP spread through the network within minutes... no problem and it worked quite well...

   "most of the time, the new IP spread through the network within minutes"

   "no problem and it worked quite well"

   Remember? No mention at all of two weeks with the same IP.

   Alas, this has very little to do with IPv6 (that you don't even seem to have), so EOD from me. Sorry Mr. Moderator.
