Can I run a server on my Internode HOME ADSL service, even though the IP address is dynamic?
Yes, if you want to do that, you are welcome to do that. Be aware that the HOME ADSL service is not designed for this, but it doesn’t prohibit it. In particular, since your IP address is dynamic (it varies over time), this means you can’t run a server and expect its ‘internet location’ to remain fixed in time. So its fine for short term server situations (if you want to put up a server so a friend can download something from your computer, or whatever). Be aware that if you wind up running a mail server, and it winds up being a spam relay, we will terminate your connection with extreme prejudice and without warning, until you fix your computer up so that it doesn’t do that any more. Ditto if your computer suddenly turns into a robot on behalf of one of the many weird and wonderful ways that Windows can be compromised by nasty script kiddies. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance (or something).
