If you find our Easyfind service not being enough for you, you might want to use for example http://www.dyndns.com.

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

Access your bubba via SSH (see Howto/Get ssh access for infomration how to accomplish this)
Change to the user root:
```
su
```
When asked for password, type excito and press enter
Install the application ddclient:
```
apt-get install ddclient
```
Optional step, edit the config file to match your DynDNS settings:
```
nano /etc/ddclient.conf
```
Restart the client program:
```
/etc/init.d/ddclient restart
```

Thats all!
