Eric: How much control do you have where your site is hosted? My setup was fairly simple, I have 2 cgi scripts on my server, the first one I hit with wget from cron ever few minutes:<br> wget -O - [#web address here#] > /dev/null
<br><br>When this script gets hit it updates a file with my IP, then I have the other script setup so it redirects traffic from mythtv.mywebaddress to the IP of my mythbox.<br><br>You could easily accomplish the same thing using FTP instead. If you can run Perl scripts on your site, I can hook you up with the scripts that I used.

<br><br>I was also wandering how people did this. I have not dig deep enough into this problem yet. But I was wanting to do this with out any cosy(dyn dns service) I do have a domain. Is there a way for my Myth box to ftp the current dyn ip to my web server so it always know how to get to my myth box?
