My ez-ipupdate to easydns is sending the internal IP
address, http://192.168.1.1.

When I used lynx and call up whatismyip.com, it gives
me the external IP that I want it to transmit.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

Check your ez-ipupdate.conf file. It should list ppp0 as the interface
to send the update about (rather than eth0 or eth1, which might be the
interface through which you're picking up the PPP session).

I hope that helps ...

Hello Sylvain,

Here is what I get:

root@slack:/# ez-ipupdate
ez-ipupdate Version 3.0.11b8
Copyright (C) 1998-2001 Angus Mackay.
service: easydns
user name: michaeldwilson
password:
host: e-chahta.com
interface: ppp0
ioctl(SIOCGIFADDR): No such device
could not resolve ip address for ppp0.
root@slack:/#

What do you think?

Thanks,

Mike

You *are* establishing a PPP session, are you not? See what interface
name the PPP daemon has assigned (ifconfig -a) and use that to configure
the interface for ez-ipupdate. If you're not using PPP, use whatever
interface name is associated with the IP address your provider has given
you.
