I update my DynDNS.org IP from my Linux box which knows nothing about the external IP address and it works just fine. I use the packed version of ddclient in debian. In /etc/ddclient.conf, all you need to do is add a line like: use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org instead of the default. The checkip server is similar to whatismyip.com...it returns the IP it is getting a connection from. The debconf configuration doesn't quite get the config file correct when you use the web interface thing, so edit the conf file yourself. -- Andrew S.
