[users@httpd] Apache+IP Change

[Bryan Cassidy <c_...@bellsouth.net>]

I am very new to Apache and how things are setup but I got a quick and
possibly a simple answer should get be going on this. I am running
Apache 1.3.27 on a FreeBSD 4.6.2 Operating System. I have gotten
Apache running fine right now but I don't have a static IP. I make
changes to my kernel config file and have to reboot after those
changes to take affect. Everytime I go to reboot after recompiling my
kernel I have to go to dyndns.org and delete host and make it
again. This is "VERY" annoying. Is there anyway to make this a little
easier instead of doing it the way I have been doing it with Apache in
some way? Thanks in advance

Yes I did configure the network for DHCP. I heard something about this
a while back (when i didn't use apache) but i don't remember where
this person said to go. I don't know what to do about this so lol. any
help would be appreciated if u help resolve this problem.

my ip is dynamic also, and I never have a problem.
though my isp seems to assign ips based on physical address and 
hardware, since it doesn't actually change very often. I'm literally 
hosting some free downloads using ip based links it's that rarely that 
this dynamic ip changes. :-) when it does, everything resets itself just 
fine.
when you configured your networking did you set it up for dhcp? or 
static? ( probably the latter from your question )
alter your networking to a dhcp protocol and it should clear up the issue.
