Dynamic DNS

Since my home machine gets its IP address from a DHCP server run by my ISP, I can’t access it from the outside by using it’s IP address. So, I had to able to reach my machine at home using a known host name using a dynamic DNS service.

I accomplished this by:

  1. Registering an account with DynDns
  2. Installing ddclient to update the DynDns server — followed directions at http://mexpolk.wordpress.com/2008/01/29/ubuntu-gutsy-dyndns-client-setup/
