Hi,Im in the UK and broadband wont give me a static IP addy for my "home" use,only bloody business !! But I have to have one for CCTV,any ideas how I can do this?..Im using wireless and vista.Thanks

Here's a brief rundown on getting a static IP:

Most ISPs know that a static IP is far more useful than a dynamic IP for setting up remote login, web servers, mail servers, CCTV systems, etc.

Accordingly, they sell inexpensive consumer plans with dynamic IPs, and expensive business plans with Static IPs.

There is no way to 'convert' your dynamic IP to a static IP, since the IP is provided by your ISP.

BUT - there is a way to link your home computer to a service called dyndns, which gives you a web address that connects to their software on your computer, updating the IP address as your ISP changes it.

This is what I use to remote into my mac with my iphone from work, and it works like a charm.
