Re: Dynamic DNS?
For NTL, the IP address rarely changes unless something provokes it, a reorganization at their end, or a change in MAC address at yours.

Quite a few ADSL's offer fixed address, but if they don't, it could be changing more often.

If you use a router, some routers directly support certain DYNDNS services, though you can also get router-aware clients that run on a PC.

The DDNS client software (especially if offerred by the DDNS service) should comply with their rules on reasonableness of updates - firing off frequent updates for an unchanged address is frowned on.
