well your computers assigning you a temporary ip address (dynamic IP). I would call up the router or ISP company and see if you can get a static IP.


I saw your orb thing you think you could make me one with a computer in it or somethin?

you could

http://www.no-ip.com/

they give you software, that.....when your ip changes, itll update to the site

they will give u something, for example, mine is

kaijou.no-ip.com

that would be used as my ip
and the software on no ip will update kaijou.no-ip.com,to your ip address 24/7

=)

im pretty sure that will work.....

if u need some help i can help out.
