Dynamic IPs LANbridger problem
Every time i reconnect to the internet / reset my pc I have to give my public profile file out to the people who connect to me. I think it is because my ip changes (isp uses dynamic ips). Is there anything i can do to fix this?

Inappropriate?Hi Gareth!
This is an issue with LAN Bridger at the moment. The profiles directly store your IP and when your IP changes, the profile no longer works (as you've noticed.)
Our current suggestion is to use a dynamic hostname provider. We like DynDNS--it's free and has a really slick IP updater tool. You can use any dynamic hostname provider you like, of course.
Once you've got a hostname that always resolves to your IP, you can just create a new network profile with LAN Bridger and manually enter in this hostname instead of letting LAN Bridger automatically find your IP. The manual override is one of the options in the "Create a network" wizard.
Now your profile points to the hostname which you can update whenever your IP changes, and the people who connect to you no longer need to get a new profile from you all the time.
We know this solution is not ideal, and we're working on an account system for LAN Bridger that will eliminate the need to use a third party service like DynDNS.
Let us know if you have any trouble getting DynDNS to work, and if you have any other questions.
Happy LAN Bridging!
I’m confident
