I use static IP's at home, but Dynamic DNS is something completely 
different isn't it? Not needed for simple computer to computer transfer, 
IIRC.

Yeah, I'd forgotton how "friendly" XP is when it comes to networking. OS 
X isn't perfect either, though hopefully Panther improve this situation. 
Mind you, the win9x's were never that great when it came to networking 
either... always trying to log in with the current username and stuff.
