[TriLUG] broadband option in the Triangle area

[Daniel Zhang]

There is a free/commercial service which could solve the dynamic IP 
problem when some people are running website from home machine with 
cable/dsl connection. Go to no-ip.com to take a look. Once a little 
program is up-running at your home machine, it'll check the dynamic IP 
and automatically match the domain name to changed IP which happens for 
residential cable/dsl account.
