[AuckLUG] Dynamic IP Address XTRA

[Kent Wilkinson]

While this shouldn't matter in a few days as I've requested a static IP
(just changed to xtra's pro plan max/max/15GB the static IP is free
(ish)).

Does anyone know how often they change they dynamic IP? or do they
increase the number of changes if they detect someone running a web
server on their pc. 

Since I've been hone (about 1.5 hours) my IP has changed twice, but then
It has had the same IP before that since last night.

I've been attempting to set up a web server in anticipation of a
static IP. I have changed the default port from 80 to 15005 as it seems
that xtra block 80. It was a simple matter to redirect the port from
my router. This worked from my work this morning (I am unable to
connect from my own pc from the external IP, I'm not sure whether it
is just my modem that won't allow this or all modems?), but i've been
trying to get some friends to have a look and they have been
unsuccessful.

Kind regards

Kent
