I see... and yes, you're right, dealing with plain php or perl programs can be tricky mostly when it comes to big applications that require a specific version for the libraries or extra adding modules which not currently installed in the system. If I had to go with a ddns client I would check first if the router itself provides such service (that would be easier to get and setup) but I guess you already have looked for this :-) Anyway, the listed clients do not seem be very complex to install (you basically download a file) nor configure (you setup a cron task) so if you choose one and face any difficulty with its configuration simply ask. > The best seem to be geared toward Dyndns.com or other dns services.

AFAICT, "ddclient" can work with "afraid.org" services but only for the latest versions (higher that 3.8.0) ;-( > I am seeking assistance from someone who has a bit of actual experience > in this arena. Any volunteers?? I'm not that person. "Luckily" I have a bunch of static IP addresses assigned but if I can assist you in setting up the client, just tell.
