Do Dynamic DNS services work with Chello?
Sure! I happen to use dyndns.org myself, but any service should work just as well for dialups. Actually, since Chello don’t rotate your IP address very often, they work extremely well. Dyndns.org works by installing a client (available for near every OS) and updating their DNS servers with it. Some DHCP clients for Unix allow you to run an arbitrary script when the lease changes, this works very well. You could also write a small script to monitor the IP address, and do the update when it changes. (Note: I’ve never used the Windows clients, I do not know how well they work..) 2.10 Special remarks about Windows 98 Second Edition and Chello If you have Windows 98 Second Edition ensure you tell the installer this! It would appear that the Chello install CD tries to replace the version of Internet Explorer in Win98SE (which has 5.01) with an older version and breaks various things as a result. If anyone can confirm this has actually taken place for them, please drop me a note. 2.11 MTU fid
