In the most recent "error", my IP address was really 207.173.227.80 but ZoneEdit received 68.49.248.133. From my log of the cron job that updates this hourly, this is the response from ZoneEdit: I'm not behind a proxy. This is my home network connected via DSL modem and is configured like this: ISP | 207.173.227.80 (dynamic IP) | 3Com ADSL Modem/Router (runs NAT) | 192.168.10.1 (the internal address on 3Com) | 192.168.10.2 (external interface of firewall) | FBSD 4.5 IPFW Firewall | 192.168.1.2 (internal interface of firewall) | Hub | 192.168.1.4 FBSD box that actually runs the update I hope my diagram is not too confusing. My configuration is a little weird since the 3Com modem is also a router. I have it configured to do the NAT and pass all packets to 192.168.10.2. I would really like to configure the modem/router as a bridge so it would really act as a modem only and let the FBSD box handle everything but I have not been successful in doing so (even though the 3Com docs say it's possible). The script I run from cron has not changed since I originally set it up nearly a year ago. My current network configuration has not changed either. The only thing that is different is that I upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5 two days ago. Since then, I've had the problem twice. The URL does accept an IP address. Thanks for your time looking into this.
