You can't keep it one thing. You have a dynamic IP address, it will change everytime (or most times) when you connect to the net. You can either pay for a static IP (if AOL provides this service, which I doubt), change ISP to one providing a static IP or sign up for a free dynamic DNS service which will give you a hostname which always maps to your IP.
Search the forum for no-ip, dyndns or afraid.org for more details. |

You have a dynamic IP address. This means that it will change every time you connect to the Internet.
To avoid this problem setup a free sub-domain with Dynamic Network Services. You can then download one of their IP address updater clients which will update the IP address associated with the sub-domain you've setup.
