>Hi peeps,

starts?

>I want to update a dyndns.org record everytime the network starts up, but I
don't know how to fire a script at this moment.

>My rubbish router (Conexant ADSL thingy) doesn't seem to have a mechanism
to do this itself.

>I do have a small Java client which will do the job, but I need to be able
to automate the process as and when the network connection starts.

Why are you trying to make it so complicated.  On ADSL is there is good
chance it an static IP address.  The only advantage if that is so with
dyndns.org is fact it easer to type in then IP, but buying domain name and
having forwarded on to you IP cost next to nothing.  

Just my 0.02 cents
