I use the standard dhclient which is part of the FreeBSD default installation. Look for my other posting of a few minutes ago with the subject: Re: How to use simple firewall with DHCP? There is a short example there I think will re-run /etc/rc.firewall and invoke ddup (DynDNS Updater) at the proper times. Normally my IP address is static enough that I don't automatically invoke ddup. In fact the past several months I've used Netscape both times to update my entry at DynDNS, first when I created it, then yesterday when I changed ISP's. The new ISP is more aggressive with only 2 hour leases. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
