Hi Neil, One the cons about home servers is that they have to be powered 24/7. In the winter months, a bit of extra background heat might well be useful, but in the summer (remember those???) you might have to leave windows (i.e. glazed hole in wall) open so that the kit can get rid of its heat. Only you can decide if that is an imposition or not. I have decided that my hybrid windows/linux network is adequate for my most of my needs, and that I can manage without a server. Regards etc, Ray Knowles. >----Original Message---- >From: barnaby@drofle. co.uk >Date: 18/12/2012 12:27 >To: <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subj: Re: [LUG] DDNS providers > >On 18/12/12 11:00, Kai Hendry wrote: >> Get a decent ISP who can assign a netblock? ;) >> >> http://www.aa.net.uk/broadband-home1.html>> >I didn't know whether to put this question as a new thread or not, but >anyway.
