[Tfug] DynDNS howto

[Andrew Ayre]

I have Cox with a Motorola Surfboard. To get to the web configuration
interface for the modem (not the router), I go to:

  http://192.168.100.1/config.html

Note that my network uses addresses in the 10.x.x.x range. The above IP
address is nothing to do with the addresses you use for your network.
