Ceri Thanks for the pointer to the 'man dhclient-script'. I read through it 3-5 times and the best I can make out of what it says is, that if I create an file like this /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks.sh with this content #! /bin/sh wget -O - --http-user=username --http-passwd=password, 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=www.mydomain.com ' Then every time dhclient runs (IE: at bootup and lease expire) the dhclient-exit-hooks.sh gets run. I this the correct interpretation? My wget command does not need the ip address or even know that it changed, the event of running and making contact with the zoneedit site will give zoneedit the ip address value of the system requesting the http url request. I just need this to be launched at the correct time and dhclient is the correct facility and timing to do this. Any help would be greatly approached Joe -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Ceri Davies Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 1:17 PM To: JJB Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.
