Hi all,

I do not have a static IP address, but I wish to host a JSP application on my WIN2K server. Is it possible to host a web application (JSP in this case) without a static IP address?

yes it is. That is what dynamic dns is for. Run a dns server or get dns service. JSP does not depend on your url or domain, simply what is running on the server.

I've got a free dynamic DNS service. I couldn't get it to work and their FAQ doesn't help much so I've two questions now :

1. I registered my domain with www.register.com. And inside one of the option "Change IP", I noticed that my domain is pointing to an IP address. Do I need to change it to match the dynamic IP address (whenever it changes)?

2. My dynamic IP address is 220.xxx.xxx.xxx. But when I did a ping on my domain, I got a reply from 165.xxx.xxx.xxx instead.

I'm really puzzled. Can you or anyone help?

Thanks
