I suggest one goes to;
http://www.justlinux.com/dynamic_dns.html
Reads and registers, gets the program concerned and reads its details.
I use this method, altho my IP# has not changed in more than 6 months.
I run a small script via cron which chaecks the ip# on a daily basis, of
course it could be hourly if the need arise.
If one wants the script let me know, it is written for my system, but can
easily be changed to suit any system.
