No worries though. I have had RR Cable for 2 1/2 years now since I moved here. My IP has only changed once (super long power outage). For prob the past 1 1/2 year I have had the same IP # which is cool. I also use DynDNS, and got sick of their monthly manditory update, so I just changed my account to the static option. If my IP would happen to change, I'll just go in their & update my account (since it almost never happens). Once you receive you IP from RR I would recommend just using the Static IP option on DynDNS instead of their dynamic option. It will be less hassel, and you'll stop receiving the monthly warning - manditory update/refresh alerts. I used to live & LA prior to this & had DSL. That IP changed all the time, so I used a similar setup like you are talking about to update the DynDNS. But really, for RR Cable it is very rare that your IP will change.
