Not sure why your authorization isn't working... but do you really want "custom=yes"? I think that's if you have a domain other than the ones offered by dyndns.org (in my config, I _don't_ have custom=yes, and everything is fine with a *.homelinux.net hostname). You could try whether a manual login/update works, pointing your browser at (of course, first edit your parameters): http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=yourhostname.homelinux.net&myip=1.2.3.4 That's essentially the URL that ddclient uses (not the regular web interface). The usual HTTP-Basic-Auth popup dialog should appear, where you can test the login/password combination you've specified in the config file. Also, the browser should display a single-word error message ("nohost", "!yours", "nochg", ...) if anything goes wrong with the update... Also, you might try to run "ddclient -debug -verbose" to get even more verbose debugging messages. Almut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
