remote for mn-700

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

My WAN IP address keeps changing - this is the IP address I have to use when
I remote from outside my network. However, the IP address changes. I use
comcast and the machine stays the same(192....) , but when I go to select
STATIC( under WAN) and add the IP address the comcast ip, I end up resetting
the base station. I used to use WAN for more then 6 months without it
changing, but now I have use a diffrent WAN IP address everyday. Can someone
help?

Thank you in advance

Thank you Gary for the quick follow up. I just want to clarify for my
understanding. The WAN IP address seems to be generating from the MN-700. The
IP address that Comcast provides is a 192... this has been the same for a
number of weeks - it's the WAN IP address that keeps changing. Do I still
need to go to this DNS route?

Again, thank you for your help
