I am not sure if the netup script will help you since I am not sure if it runs when the DHCP license is renewed. I use a dyndns service with an updater running as a daemon, and it works fine. It just periodically checks the IP and if different notifies dyndns. You only get a log entry when something changes. ddclient from http://burry.ca:4141/ddclient/ derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
