No.
* My remote laptop has a Sprint card.
* Sprint assigns me a dynamic IP address for the connection.
* I run a virtual IP client that looks up my currently assigned dynamic
IP and transmits that to the virtual IP service.
* The virtual IP service associates mylittlelaptopwayoutthere
with the IP address the client sent to it.
* I browse over to http://mylittlelaptopwayoutthere.a_v...dy_service.com
and I can get into my remote laptop.

What is being described is dynamic DNS, you keep a domain name
updated with the current IP address of the device.

That's another way calling it. It sometimes easier to describe
it in a logical manner as a virtual static IP.

Pretty much a moot point. It will only affect 10% of the users that
likely shouldn't be using it like that in the first place. So no real
need for condolences.

You mean like the person in the corporate Sprint Store who said, yeah, rout
the sprint card and use it on your computers at home?
using a Pantech PC-5740 as a modem ?
Linear Mode
