I have recently setup a webcam in a friends house so she can keep an eye on some new pups that have arrived. All is working fine with the remote IP cam, I have setup remote web access via a free DNS provider http://www.noip.com/
The problem is that her WAN IP address keeps changing on a daily basis and this means that the web url does not work. I end up having to login to http://www.noip.com/ and updating the WAN IP which is not ideal.
She is with Sky and I asked to call and ask about a static IP but this is not something they offer. After a quick Google I see that Sky do have "sticky" IPs so it should never really change that much so I am not sure why its changing on a daily basis.
Anyone else experienced this or suggest a work around?
I personally am with Virgin and my WAN IP never changes.
