I have a domain with a couple of other computers on the LAN. 
My ISP is new to it and wants to run routed only, cause it's simple.
I am pretty new to it too, but more adventurous.
Both MYADDR and HISADDR can change from one call to the next.
The static route works only for the computer with the interface
on the ISP's domain.
Can you give me some nethelp/advice?
