that's fine but that's also your WAN (aka external) address... i've been asking 
about your BBS machine's /internal/ LAN address and if it might change... IIRC, 
you did state in another post in some echo of the few this conversation is 
taking place in, that there is the possibility that that address can change 
from 192.168.0.2_or_whatever_it_is to 192.168.0.something_else and that you 
have gotten to where you check it all the time when starting everything back 
up... i've pointed out two ways for you to prevent this change from 
happening... pseudo-static assignment in DHCP on the router or fully static on 
the BBS machine itself...

yes, i think many of us are aware of what static domain name services provide 
for those of us on dynamic IP connections :wink: :wink:
