[NTLUG:Discuss] Blood from a firewall

Ditto regarding dynamic DNS support via IPCOP.  

I have been using it very successfully to combine my comcast broadband with dyndns.org.

If this is just a home firewall appliance, you might want to look at

dyndns.org so you can set up a free account and always get to your ip by 
domain name.
