9. The DNS usually changes names to fixed IP addresses But if for some reason you cannot use a fixed IP address or for security reasons you wish not to use a fixed IP address there is a type of DNS called a dynamic DNS which can handle ever changing IP addresses For example the starting IP address is 210 0 0 1 and the URL associated with it is http www ws2 com The IP address 210 0 0 1 is of the changing type that is periodically reassigned by the provider After a certain period of time the assigned IP address is changed to 210 0 0 2 Normally at this point the DNS would not associate the URL with the IP address and access would be made impossible but because the dynamic DNS tracks the IP address you can still access the desired server using the same URL There are many types of dynamic DNS plans and services available please contact your local provider for more details Can I use the Warning Mail function without getting or using a fixed IP address Theoretically it is possible to send mail without having or using a fixed IP address That is presuming it is possible to successfully send data via your provider s mail Sever or your company s mail server Fundamentally if you are able to access your company mail server or connect to the Internet it should be possible to send mail It should be noted that a Mail Server which requires authentication other than POP before SMTP cannot be used Others 69 70 Q 7 Is it p
