Abstract

A computer network (10) interconnected computing device (26) and server (16) are disclosed. The server (16) maintains a database (68) of known computing devices. The computing device (26) is intermittently connected to the network (10) and obtains an assigned network address each time a network connection is established. Thereafter, the computing device (26) contacts the server (46) and provides an identifier and the assigned network address to the server (16). The server (16) compares the identifier to entries of the database (68) to find a matching entry in the database (68). In response to finding a matching entry, the server (16) stores the assigned network address and provides a second network address stored at the server (16) or at computing device (26) to the computing device (26). The second network address is used by the computing device (26) as a homepage address to contact another network interconnected computer. Thereafter, the server (16) may provide data in real time to the computing device (26) using the stored network address.
