Question : I have a billion bipac modem, and have a virtual server set up. how can i change the ip address automatical?
I have a Virtual server set up to allow utorrent through. Each time the modem resets (power fluctuations, line drop outs etc) the external ip address changes, and i have to go in and change it on the virtual server. I have no idea about these things, and it took ages to sort out the server bit. Is there any way i can get it to change automatically?

If you have a Dyanmic IP (meaning it does change) you can use a Dynamic DNS service to automatically “Track” your server.
http://dyndns.com has a free service http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/
or http://no-ip.com (a paid one)

Dynamic services put a small program on your machine (client) which updates the dns service when the IP changes thus you always have a current link to your machine. Some routers even support the service and no client on the machine is needed.

The real advantage to you is you just “call” the server by name, not by IP.
