This has really been a pain for me b/c it's the only thing holding me back from being able to turn my XP box and not have to rely on it running no-ip services...any way...

They give directions on how to get the service running at startup, but I'm not totally familiar with what I'm technically doing. Here are the directions...

The noip2 executable can be run by typing /usr/local/bin/noip2

If you want it to run automatically when the machine is booted, then
place the following script in your startup directory. (/etc/init.d/rcX.d
or /sbin/init.d/rcX.d or ???)

################################################## #####
#! /bin/sh
# . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # uncomment/modify for your killproc
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting noip2."
/usr/local/bin/noip2
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down noip2."
killproc -TERM /usr/local/bin/noip2
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
################################################## #####

Where the 'X' in rcX.d is the value obtained by running the
following command
grep initdefault /etc/inittab | awk -F: '{print $2}'


Could someone really REALLY dumb down these for me? So many thanks...Jonboy.
