[Sheflug] DynDNS.org

["James Mears" <james [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Does anybody use the free service offered by DynDNS.org? 

I have just ordered a new PC to use as a home server (nothing special
ASUS bare bones system with AMD Athlon XP 2000+) and I would like to use
the server as a mail & web server on the internet and general backup
server for my other two PC's and laptop. (I have 2x 80Gb HDD's)

I have ADSL from BT and an SMC barricade 7401BRA router. I intend to
install SUSE 8.2 on the PC (when SUSE deliver my order).

Does anybody have any advice on how to set this up, what client to use
on the PC and any other pointers? I have figured out the NAT port
forwarding features of the barricade but it is the DynDNS bit that I am
not sure about.

Thanks

James
