I'll apologize if I am just too dumb to find the "How to" but can anybody tell me how to setup my sme server (ver 6.5 on a home network) to automatically update for changed IP addresses from my ISP (Comcast cable).
The network is set up as follows.
Two domain names are owned by my wife and I (shadowsfall.org and aviondreams.com) both are set up at easydns.com to point to the comcast provided IP address. This address lives in my Linksys firewall/router (via DHCP from the cable modem). My sme server lives behind the Linksys and is my home networks e-mail, web and file server.
What I need to be able to do is to have some way for the server to check the IP address of the Linksys router and update the records at www.easydns.com .
I thought that at one time I had found a How to on doing this but I can no longer find it.
Help.
Thanks
Ted

Thanks for the reply. I had already found the help page at easydns, now I just need to find the RIGHT ez-ipupdate.rpm file. The first one I tried threw multiple dependences at me. This made me a little uneasy so I declined to download and install two or three other rpms just to get that one going.
If anyone knows which (and where) the right ez-ipupdate.rpm is hiding I would be very pleased.
Thanks

Wouldn't the router have a DDNS updator page built in?
(or is that only Dynamic DNS? www.dyndns.org)
