A Perl script to check for IP address changes
Authored by: balston on Oct 27, '04 02:04:37PM

As a sidenote ... make sure you check with your ISP to make sure that they do not block port 80 through their system.

I am using Adelphia (BLAH) cable, and not only do they block port 80 they also explicitly state that if you run a server of ANY kind that they will terminate your service.

Sure ... DynDNS has a way around the port problem but if your ISP decides to monitor the increased activity to your IP you may be in trouble.

Sadly ... I had to take my site down as I don't want to lose my internet capability as Adelphia is the ONLY high speed provide in my area :-(
