Dealing with Dynamic IP Addresses 159
Step 2: Install the No-IP Dynamic
Update Client Program
The No-IP Dynamic Update Client (DUC) program determines the IP address of your
current broadband connection, logs onto your No-IP.com account, and sends the
IP address update to associate the address with the host and domain names you selected
for your home network applications. Each time you reset your broadband connection
(or when your ISP dumps the connection) and it must be reconnected, the
new address will be detected and updated to the No-IP.com servers.
Locate and run the Ducsetup.exe program to begin the No-IP DUC installation.
The first screen, shown in Figure 23-2, advises you that your computer
must be connected to the Internet. Click the Next button and accept or change
the default settings in the next dialog box, and then click Next again.

Provide your No-IP registration e-mail address and password (see Figure 23-3)
so that No-IP DUC can connect, verify your credentials, and associate your
current IP address with your choice of host and domain names. When your
credentials are verified, No-IP DUC sends your current IP address to the No-
IP.com servers and shows you the hostnames you have just associated with
your IP address, as shown in the example in Figure 23-4.
