Last night and again this morning, my ADSL service dropped. Checking with the ISP's help line, I got a recorded message saying they had no known problems, but before talking to a rep, customers should renew their IP address - so obviously they've been up to something....
Anyway, I dropped and re-established the link successfully. In the message log I saw:

However, on both occasions, the IP address had changed from its previous one. Can anyone shed any light on why the dynamic DNS script would show no update required?
The wget line in the custom script is:
wget -O - --http-user=$USERID --http-passwd=$PASSWD 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=douganconsulting.com'
Thanks,
