[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Gerry, Thanks for getting back to me. I edited ddclient.conf, clearing out the lines that are not required for my site (see below). Do I now need to restart the ddclient daemon? The ddclient docs don't mention how to stop the process., and I'm weary of simply "killing" it. Anyways., I ran ddclient manually again after editing the file (note: without restarting ddclient daemon) and this is returned: # ddclient -daemon=0 -query --noquiet use=if, if=sis0: address is NOT FOUND <-------- use=if, if=lp0: address is NOT FOUND | use=if, if=lo0: address is NOT FOUND | use=if, if=ppp0: address is NOT FOUND | use=if, if=sl0: address is NOT FOUND | use=if, if=faith0: address is NOT FOUND | use=3com-3c886a address is NOT FOUND | use=alcatel-stp address is NOT FOUND | use=elsa-lancom-dsl10 address is NOT FOUND | use=elsa-lancom-dsl10-ch01 address is NOT FOUND | This stuff is not use=elsa-lancom-dsl10-ch02 address is NOT FOUND | even in the editted use=linksys address is NOT FOUND |<---conf file anymore use=maxgate-ugate3x00 address is NOT FOUND | Why is this still use=netgear-rt3xx address is NOT FOUND | appearing???? use=netopia-r910 address is NOT FOUND | use=smc-barricade address is NOT FOUND | use=sohoware-nbg800 address is NOT FOUND | use=watchguard-soho address is NOT FOUND | use=xsense-aero address is NOT FOUND | use=fw, fw=192.168.1.1:80 address is NOT FOUND<- use=web, web=dyndns address is <IP Addr> use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/ address is <IP Addr> # Any ideas as to what is happening, or if I *do* need to restart the daemon?
