My Ip gets assigned to me by DHCP and changes every now and then, although its stayed the same for a good while now. As for DynDNS support in the modem, I couldn't tell you. The modem is an Ntl:home 100/200 though.

If it supports DynDNS it should say so in the manual, or it should be under the configuration menu somewhere.

Didn't get a manuel and theres no drivers or anything to configure. Theres only the "192.168.100.1" page but that just shows you stuff about your line really.

Quite a few ppl where complaining their line were down but from what i have been told is their changing the lines and i have seen loads of NTL van tech. around.
