I don't understand what you're saying here. The script I posted, when run *once* (with the correct username, password, and hostname defined therein) will update that hostname's DNS 'A' record with the external IP address of the originating system. I fail to see anything here that needs to be done twice to accomplish this updating. OTOH, the checkip page merely returns your current IP address (and 'true' hostname, if that is available through a reverse lookup), and updates nothing at ZoneEdit by itself. -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "An opinion is like a branding iron.
