    Dynamic ip address updating

    I have been trying to modify a shell script to automatically update my ip address at freedns.afraid.org.
    obviously the script I am using has environmental variables which do not match my own.
    One of these is the location where the ip address of my inet_if ppp0 is written.
    Can anyone point me to where this is stored by default in the MDK10.1 distro.
    Alternatively if anyone would care to share a working script of their own with explanations of the variables that would be supercool.

    oops this forum has the same format buttons etc of another one I was logged into.
    I seem to have posted to this one instead of the other.
    I was wondering why I couldn't find my post there.
