IP agent client software;
wherein said IP agent client software includes computer program code stored in the third memory and executable by the third processor for;
determining whether the IP address of said at least one ID has changed;
upon a determination that said IP address has not changed, repeating the step of determining whether the IP address of said at least one ID has changed;
upon a determination that said IP address has changed to a new IP address;
connecting to said IP agent server software; and
sending message to said IP agent server software informing of said new IP address and domain name represented by said IP agent client software; and
wherein said IP agent server software includes computer program code stored in the second memory and executable by the second processor for;
