Q. What is the best script to run for a non-Linux, Unix system?

A. The best script to use is the latest perl scripts, they use only perl to communicate with our servers to update your IP Address and they are downloadable in "tar.gz" format for easy installation.

Q. Do the Linux clients work behind gateways, routers and firewalls?

A. YES! Both the Shell and the Perl clients work behind gateways, routers and firewalls. In the configuration file there is a setting for going through a gateway, or not. If you are going through a NAT based firewall you should not need to configure anything, if you are going through a Proxy Server you will need to make sure TCP ports 80 and 21333 are open. There are included scripts with the shell and perl downloads that can be run on a cron job to detect an IP Address change, this will work for gateway IP Address changes and adaptor IP Address changes.
