Thanks to everyone who replied. I ended up using ddclient. I just grabbed the source from the mirror listed at dyndns.org. The original authors site wasn't up for me to grab the rpm, but the tar file contained the binary and simple install instructions. Now I must learn apache... I can't even find the httpd.conf to edit (I found httpd2.conf but it said you really shouldn't mess with it unless your a guru...) I'm sure I'll be back with questions on apache soon. Anyway thanks to all who responded. Jeff __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more http://tax.yahoo.com
