Well, you're almost perfect. But don't use www as a hostname. Go in Yast, and change your hostname to cheedu, and shorten the domain name to dyndns.org Thereafter, your complete DNS infos will be right all the time, provided that DD-UP is properly configured. Good luck. /NB ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Economics Department, Universite Laval Centre de Recherches en Economie et Finances Appliquees (CREFA) Quebec, Canada mailto:nicolas.beaulieu@ecn.ulaval.ca _________________ http://www.penguinpowered.com/~montesquieu ICQ 15933500 _________________ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
