[HECnet] Running E11 inside a virtual system

Hello! November question time. I have here a virtual system, running Windows Server 2003, naturally its biggest problem is that of its also running on top of an OS from the same firm as the virtual system frame, but that's besides the point. (We can trade those insults off list later.) Now the question, "Has anyone managed to get the latest release of E11 running that way with, any of the operating systems who support Ethernet?", and then following that, "What suggestions are available for making it available via a dynamically assigned name and IP address to the network?". My ISP seems to want to deliver an IP address to me via PPPoE for normal commercial DSL, I once asked about a static IP address, but the service hid behind some outlandish reason at the time that it wasn't possible. I suspect its because the ISP, then Covad behind AT&T, never considered such a method of delivery for its commercial, read household, customers, and hence went ahead with what it believed to be an easy method. Then in March I migrated from that method of having a ISP to work with to just Covad. Same other e-mail addresses naturally. To supply the occasional access method for the systems, for when I was away from here, and needed to do so, I went ahead and used the services of DDNS to make a hostname available. I chose the vendor http://www.dyndns.com/ simply because it would be an easy configuration step, then, or so I thought. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
