Lynx simply opens a connection to dynamic.zoneedit.co. I assume they simply use getpeername() to fetch the IP. Could you be behind a transparent web proxy, maybe? When zoneedit gets the wrong IP, what is it? Does that dynamic.html page let you specify the IP on the url line? -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
