Use that name as your FQDN of your freebsd box. Go to the clients section of that web site and download and make ez-ipupdate and compile it. Works well with freebsd. Each time you dynamically assigned ip changes, the tiny client updates the dns servers ad dyndns.org and you have a resolvable host name with a dynamic ip. Its really nice for home machines where buying a static is not cost justified. -- _________________________________________________ No I Don't Yahoo!
