I'll have to ditto that last statement!!<br>
<br>
I've been using dyndns.com for years and never had so much as a hickup.<br>
The ddclient app also has been working great for quite a while.<br>
<br>
Another cool thing dyndns has is a little web app that will tell you
the ip your dynamic setup is currently using...go to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://checkip.dyndns.com">http://checkip.dyndns.com</a> and it should pop up with the IP your router
is using.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<pre wrap="">FWIW, I've been using DynDNS for several years now, and can definitely
chime in a thumbs up about them. The service works, they're reliable,
and they're set-it-and-forget-it. (I haven't had to manually log in
there probably in like a year.) Oh yeah, and it's free (as in beer).
What more could you ask for?
BTW, I also recommend using the ddclient daemon (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ddclient.sf.net">http://ddclient.sf.net</a>)
to keep the dynamic dns service updated. The daemon is reliable, very
easy to configure, and again just set and forget. (And they include a
sample configuration for DynDNS, I might add.)
