It seems I don't have support for this on the router, so I'll have to |
| 21 |
go the scripting way... I have taken a look at portage, and ddclient |
| 22 |
and ez-ipupdate are available. |

Well, I was searching for a free service because if I have to pay |
| 32 |
anything for this I would consider paying a cheap hosting instead of |
| 33 |
mantaining my own server. |

Thanks for the tip... I basically have found (from the suggestions on |
| 42 |
this thread, thanks everybody) the following providers with some kind |
| 43 |
of free dynamic dns service (in case anyone else is interested): |
