Maybe, but usually ddclient queries your local system for your IP. I do not know how ddclient queries the local IP, I'll have to check. Please send me the output of "ip addr show" and of "ifconfig". > Maybe having avahi-daemon installed and running confuses ifconfig, but > either way, ddclient still tries to update my DynDNS account with a > 169.x.x.x address instead of my true external address on eth0. Let's find out why... Greetings Torsten
