Just something I thought would be nice to clear the air and I'm curious what sort of game system people would use the most.

I like IP games because you can have tournaments with the results kept secret until you feel like letting them out.

Well the game will have all options open. I just want to see what people will use the most and thus will be the most important.

But it seems that TCP/IP needs IP addresses which means 1 wrong number you get no cigar.

and some ip's constantly change, so you have to work fast

btw, does anyone know how often they change?

                             They only change on a disconnect. I have never heard of an IP changing during the middle of the connection.

Possibly the router is screwing up.

                             Wrong!  I would stay online, check my IP, tell people, and then end up with them telling me that it didn't work.  I would check again and it was different.

I never signed off of the internet once.

Ok, here is the clear-up.  (I'll try)  IP addresses change Every Time that you dial-up.  Wait, what about Cable and DSL?  You IPs won't change.  this is why most cable companies offer firewall.  u are more prone to hacking.

Well, mine is cold carpeted, and no one would know I'm online. (In my family, that is)
