A windows program to update dynamic DNS services.

I used to use ipcheck. From DynDNS Updater I switched to IPCop's dyndns updating support.

Updating dyndns information using wget ∞

Snippet from http://wiki.netbsd.se/index.php/Shell-Hacks

Here is a shell script to update your dynamic DNS address.

It is useful to include this information in your ip-up script if you use ppp for internet access.

The url syntax information was provided on the www.dyndns.com site.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Parameters:
# 1 = Username
# 2 = Password
# 3 = Hostname
# 4 = IP Address
# 

if [ "$1" = "-h" ]; then
  echo Usage:
  echo ddns.sh uname psswd hostname ip
  exit
fi

wget "http://$1:$2@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=$3&myip=$4&wildcard=OFF&offline=NO" -O -
