Need script to update NAT IP to a web page.

[b_usa]

Hey guys, I'm not too talented with scripting, know a little python, a little shell. Basically I need to write a script that will check what my NAT IP is every 15 minutes or so and is it changes, update a page online that will redirect to my NAT IP> I am using a free web hosting service (Angelfire), and want that page to automatically redirect to my NAT IP> (I have dynamic IP and am behind a router that will only let http in through my NAT IP) Thanks.

just double-checking: you have a page hosted by Angelfire and you want that URL to contain a page that redirects to your dynamic ip address?

there is an easier way to do this - basically you don't have to have the Angelfire site.

go to www.dyndns.org and sign up for a free dynamic dns name. then install one of their dyndns clients (i personally use ddclient).

the dynamic dns client will update dyndns' dns with your current ip address whenever it changes. so you will get a real dns name that points to your dynamic ip address. that way people can just enter your dnydns name in their browser and automagically they will be pointed to your box.
