instead of doing it that way, which i should say is a novel approach, why not get a domain name registered for your box. check www.dyndns.org there you can register a domain like my-computer.dyndns.org even if you have a dynamic ip address.
in short, your users don't have to find out what your current ip address is. just remember the name. hth. ----- Original Message ----- From: Hereward Cooper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2001 9:40 PM Subject: External IP Address > Hi, > How can I get my machine to automatically update a file with my > current dynamic IP address?
