Hi Da Rock, It will much better if you draw your network diagram or explain it because some network devices support DDNS suck as Linksys, I have found this links explain how to configure DDNS on FC4 it should be same: <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora_dynamic_dns">http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora_dynamic_dns</a> <a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/dynamic-dns-setup-for-either-fedora-core-client-584754/">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/dynamic-dns-setup-for-either-fedora-core-client-584754/</a> <a href="http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/HowTo_Configure_DHCP_and_DNS_Servers">http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/HowTo_Configure_DHCP_and_DNS_Servers</a> I hope they are useful... <div class="gmail_quote"> On Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 10:06 AM, Da Rock <<a href="mailto:rock_on_the_web@comcen.com.au">rock_on_the_web@comcen.com.au</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d"> On Fri, 2008-04-04 at 16:37 +1030, Tim wrote: > On Fri, 2008-04-04 at 15:15 +1000, Da Rock wrote: > > I have a ddns network, which does work but it needs to have the hostname > > sent to it.

According to all information available on the matter the dhclient.conf is where you need to set the dhclient -H option for automation. And I have tested this option manually and it works. So what do I have to hack to stop the stupid scripting from overriding this? Even the scripting information says to customise the conf file... but this doesn't work. Apparently the networking hasn't changed much since FC4, but if it matters I'm running 8. <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Yours, Waleed Harbi If you want your goals to come true, don't sleep
