With these steps completed, you can now tell your friends to enter your new hostname
into their browsers, along with the port number for your webcam server (from
Project 6), and enjoy the view without those messy IP addresses.
This project works for hosting your own web pages (if allowed by your ISP), file
transfers, remote-control sessions, and many other Internet-to-home connections.

You probably know you can schedule TiVo recordings through TiVo Central Online,
but you may not know that you can download your recorded programs to
a TiVo Desktop anywhere on the Internet. Of course, TiVo recordings are huge
files, and most home DSL connections can upload at only 384 to 512 Kbps, so you may
want to reduce the recording quality you use on your TiVo DVR so that the transfers
take less time.
