Hello all,

I have a DSL connection (Dynamic IP) that feeds my DLINK wireless
router/firewall. I have my Freebsd box hardwired to the router and then I
have a laptop and a windows box using wireless nics. Everything works great!
Now I want to allow access to my web and ftp server on the Bsd box. I have
my own domain name already and can use one of the dynamic dns hosting
services. But how can I (automatically  of course), update my dynamic dns? I
am unsure how to pull the wan ip from the router. The router is passing all
requests on port 80 to my bsd box. But I need to find out my wan  ip to
update the dns. I would like to maybe run a shell script or something get
the wan ip and then update the dns. I have a script ot do the actual update,
but any ideas on how to pull the wan ip? All I keep getting back is the lan
ip (192.168.0.1)

Any thoughts or ideas from anybody ? This wouldn't be so bad but it seems
that the dynamic ip is changed at odd intervals and pretty often. So it
makes it a real pain to keep up with it manually.


Thanks


Ken
