Like I said, I didn't realize that it could be done server side. We're all learning things! :) Back in the day (circa 1997), we had a PPP connection, and a dyndns client would occasionally connect to some DNS server out there on the internet and tell it what our current IP address was. It was very handy. SCO++'s current cable router/WAP also has support for DDNS. You can see a list of client programs at http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/Dynamic_DNS_Services/Dynamic_DNS_Client_Programs/ and a list of servers at http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Address_Management/Dynamic_DNS_Services/ -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
