Dynamic IP Address

[Stephen Dawes]

I am a user of yi.org, it to is a dynamic addressing site.
To update my IP address when ever it changes, I use a provided script, that
I downloaded from YI.

I have also written a script that checks to see if my IP address has
changed, if it has, then it calls the script to update my DNS IP.

The problem with YI is that they are currently NOT taken new users.

Another dynamic provider to check out is:
www.dhs.org
I think, or it may be .com.

Good luck.

Oh yeah, the job to check to see if my IP address has changed or not, is
located in the cron.hourly directory, so that it runs automatically.
