I found it. "eth0"

Now I have ddclient installed.

$ sudo /usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300 -syslog
No printout.

Where can I find the start/stop/restart scripts.

Besides how to test ddclient to check whether it works. TIA

They are in /etc/init.d.

Check the log files. Also, you can stop your internet connection and connect again and check if the IP address of your domain has been updated.

Hi falko,

Tks for your advice.

$ dpkg -l | grep ddclient

ii  ddclient                                         3.6.2-6ubuntu1              Update dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org

ddclient is running.

IP address was updated on DYNDNS.ORG server whenever this server reconnected. I have it confirmed on login DYNDNS.ORG website.

But failed to ping my domain.

$ sudo ping -c 3 satimis.homelinux.com

PING satimis.homelinux.com (58.152.161.53) 56(84) bytes of data.

Might be your router's firewall that doesn't allow pings.
