Do you mean you simply ran 'ping paul.dyndns.org' and then looked at something on the dyndns.org web site (after logging in as paul), and they happened to agree with each other? Well of course they did. This is meaningless.Doesn't this at least tell me that ddclient on the desktop is working?
It tells you that ddclient was working at least once. It doesn't tell you that it's working right now. If the website of dyndns.org tells you that the IP address was updated recently (e.g. 20 minutes ago), then this would be a strong hint that ddclient is really working now. It doesn't mean that ddclient is working correctly though, it might still send the wrong IP address, but that's not very likely. Detlef
