Yah, running services is part of why I like having a static IP.
But the most important thing to me is, I never have to
negotiate with some server for an IP address, and never have to
worry about there not being an available address at any given time,
the way I saw it happen on occasion with my housemate's dynamic IP.
That's pretty important to me.
That my buds who run their own household ISP can tweak their
DNS settings so that I can be east.elfhill.com, and that I can
host multiplayer D2 games, is icing on the cake... ;)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
