orange writes: In a series of articles, a security researcher along with an investigative journalist have laid bare shenanigans involving millions of dollars scarce IPv4 address space. In the latest developments ( https://mybroadband.co.za/news... ), it seems a police case has been opened in Mauritius, the island headquartering https://www.afrinic.net/ — the IP address registry for the African region.

Is this what we can expect in light of global IPv4 depletion?

The real problem of course is the fact that the router manufacturers don't actually support dynamic DNS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS ....
I almost returned mine cause the box said DynamicDNS but meant dyndns - only thing stopping me was my research which told me that's what most of them call Dynamic DNS.

I use a Dlink dns 323 see http://wiki.dns323.info/ for storing all my video/photo's/music.

Then I use the uPnP client on my samsung C6900 46" LED to watch stuff downloaded to the DNS323.

My nokia e52 can handle audio streaming, as can the linux machines around the house.

For PVR functionality, I use a Zotac ION - checkout http://techreport.com/articles.x/16893 .

I think my home entertainment is getting there :-)
