Nor can you register in the DNS with a dynamic address. You will have to start first by applying for a permanent C class address, or asking your ISP to be assigned a permanent number from their list, which I doubt they will do.

Dear Sir,
    I just start to use FreeBSD by last three month and I don't know to much about it (unix also). I bought FreeBSD 2.21 from Waltnut Creek CDROM and tried it for us to be an internet web server. Now, two month ago I can't get it up (for web server). In my pland, I have:
            1. Web Server (FreeBSD) and using Netscape FastTrack Server to be a web server engine.
            2. I have 1 of telphone line connected with my local ISP with dynamic IP address!.
            3. I just applied with dyndns (www.dyndns) for get the dynamic DNS service for anybody can reach my homepage by name.
    My problems is:
           1. I can't setup FreeBSD for using PPP connection because I don't know exactly about the step (When I use manual page it not clear) and I need it to connect to my ISP automaticaly every time that it reboot or just start or lose connection!!!. Please help me to config it by give me an instruction and Sample. (again I have dynamic IP address when I connected to internet.)
            2. I got software from dyndns its call "NamedControl" for register my new IP address with their server every time that the it was changed. Where I must to put it in FreeBSD config? because It suposed to run after it got IP of PPP interface.
    Please help me to solve my problem. Thank you very much in advance and Hopefully you can help.
Best Regards,
