Thanks for the tip... I basically have found (from the suggestions on this thread, thanks everybody) the following providers with some kind of free dynamic dns service (in case anyone else is interested): http://www.dyndns.org/ http://www.dyns.cx/ http://www.zoneedit.com/ http://www.no-ip.com/ Thanks, best regards Jose -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
