I also remember answering several times this same question in the RH 6.x and 7.x days so I advice you to search the RH archives and try to find my mails. It was a long mail so I want to avoid writing it again. I'll just give you the lead while you search for my message. "dhcpcd-eth0.exe" is executed by DHCP when it gets a new IP address. At least, it used to do that. In the good old days, you also had to stop RH using the pump program by editing the ifup script. The "dhcpcd-eth0.exe" is an empty shell script which will execute whatever command you want in order to update you DynDNS account. I remember the whole setup being a bit tough, especially the part where I had to avoid the DynDNS being hit by continuous updates when the IP **didn't** change, like when you put the script in a crontab to execute every 1 minute. Please DON'T DO THAT! You might get unsubscribed. It puts a big strain on the DynDNS servers. Anyway, try to have a look at your DynDNS's site, nowerday's you might find binaries ready to use. -- Cheers, Zoran.
