All I had to do was add my username, password, and dns name to a config file. It ran for something like 3 years without me touching it. I believe the package was ddclient, and it seems to be much fancier than it was when I first installed it. Here is the blurb from apt-cache show: Description: Update dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org A perl based client to update your dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org (or other dynamic DNS services such as Hammernode, Zoneedit or EasyDNS), thus allowing you and others to use a fixed hostname (myhost.dyndns.org) to access your machine. This client supports both the dynamic and (near) static services, MX setting, and alternative host. It caches the address, and only attempts the update if the address actually changes. . For more information on DynDNS.org, see http://www.dyndns.org/. Pat Attachment:
