Hello all,=20

I have an ADSL connection via an Ethernet router (Freebox in France). My =
server has an Ethernet card which is connected to this bridge and obtain =
its IP adress via DHCP.
I am also using a firewall script which detects automatically this IP =
adress. I call this script in my rc.local file.
Well, at startup my ethernet card is first brought up and the ip adress =
is detected via DHCP and then, a few moment later my firewall script is =
launched and detect this IP adress.

My problem is that my provider often changes my IP adress. Then, I have =
to reexecute manually my firewallscript to take this new ip adress into =
account. How can I do to make the execution of this firewall script =
automatic after each change in my IP adress ?

Thanks for any help,

Jean Lee
