Re: ddclient

[karrottop <karrottop@fuse.net>]

yikkes.  Thats alot to absorb.  Actually two things, I am not using
dhcp, I have things set up statically inside my network.  if I were to
do things that way I think that it would only come accross my internal
ip 192.168.1.2 not my dynamic ip that my isp provides.  I can find my ip
with ddclient easy, all I have to do is direct it to either look at my
linksys net router or have it hit dyndns's ip checker web page.  I think
I am having trouble on the updating the info on dyndns side of things.On
Thanks,
Jason Self
