DynDNS doesn't allow you to update an unchanged address more frequently then every 28 days: http://www.dyndns.org/support/abuse.html "Updates should only be performed when your IP address has changed. Updates should not be performed on any timed interval, except every 28 days if your IP has not changed and you wish to prevent your Dynamic DNS hostname from expiring. " The firewall's dynamic dns client has to follow these rules. Did your notification from DynDNS include information on how long it had been since the last update? If it was longer then 28 days, you might consider contacting support. You can always force an update attempt (it will only update if your address has changed, though, or the 28 days is up..) by saving the network information section. -- David Raistrick Systems Administrator - Global Technology Associates, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are the opinions of David Raistrick, not necessarily those of GTA, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://archives.gnatbox.com/gb-users/
