What dynnds does... is records your ip address in it's dns table. I also allows you to give your machine a fqdn so that you can access your pc from anywhere.. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Selby [mailto:php@nickselby.com] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 8:43 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] IP Address Checker Hmmm. I went to Dyndns and checked it out. Maybe my contacts are fogged today or maybe I didn't explain myself. My machine logs on and gets an IP from my ISP . The service I was thinking about was one where my machine then snitches what the current IP address is it is using to a service, and the service allows me to log in from somewhee else, find out the current IP address my machine at the office is using, so I can SSH into it. Is that what dyndns does? I can't see anything about this in the documentation - though again I may be being dense. Nick At 07:36 AM 5/24/2002 -0400, you wrote:
