static IP address needed on an AOL account?

Hi,
Yes, I have used the same one but you need to put the software on the
computer for it to link to. I am trying to get the ip to point to the
router only so I can have access across the LAN.
Some routers come with DYNDNS functions. It's probably cheaper to replace
yours with one that does, than to pay for the fixed IP.

I am not sure with AOL as I thought AOL changed your IP very quickly
(though that could be their proxy system), but with many other dynamic IP
providers, you can have a dynamic DNS set up.
The one I use is dyndns.org but there are many others.
Basically, you choose a sub-domain and then configure your router to use
that, so for example, you could have lenny.dyndns.org (or any other
higher level domain name they own, such as gotdns.org)
That way, you just simply connect to your chosen domain name, e.g.
lenny.dyndns.org
Have a look on google for dynamic dns. You will probably find many.

Hi,
AOL in the UK don't offer static IP address's. How can I have a static
IP address on my broadband connection with AOL? I want the static IP to
go to my Draytek Router so that I can remotely log in to the network
using the routers vpn system.
Cheers
Lenny
