[NBLUG/talk] Home Linux Server

[Dean A. Roman]

I'll have to ditto that last statement!!

I've been using dyndns.com for years and never had so much as a hickup.
The ddclient app also has been working great for quite a while.

Another cool thing dyndns has is a little web app that will tell you the 
ip your dynamic setup is currently using...go to 
http://checkip.dyndns.com and it should pop up with the IP your router 
is using.

Thanks,
    ---Dean.
