To update DynDNS with your external IP you need to install a DynDNS client on Bubba. Follow these steps:

1. Access your bubba via SSH (see Howto/Access Server via SSH for information how to accomplish this)
2. Change to the user root:

   su

   When asked for password, type excito and press enter

3. Install the application ddclient:

   apt-get install ddclient

2. Optional step, edit the config file to match your DynDNS settings:

   nano /etc/ddclient.conf

2. Restart the client program:

   /etc/init.d/ddclient restart

Thats all!
