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:
