I can't find a `dyn_updater' in any of the Debian repos. So tell us:
What /is/ dyn_updater? Where did you get it from? Does it have
documentation? A config file? Perhaps some logs?
I was using ddclient and it wasn't working for possibly the same reason
that dyn_updater isn't working. I got dyn_updater from dyndns.org.
Given the name and your description, the thing might update your
dyndns record (not your IP address: your ISP changes this one).
If this guess is correct, it'll depend on an external service.
If I understand this correctly ddclient and dyn_updater should tell my
subdomain at dyndns.org what my current IP address so I can connect to
my home computer.
Thank you,
Paul
May be this one is failing?
But that's only guesswork.
Cheers
