dynamic hosting service probs

Ok, i registered with www.dhs.org for a dynamic name pointing to my home server when I am online. Just added a script to the ip-local called from ppp when I go online, so the ip gets updated when I go online. I tried to connect to it, and got a 403 error. Not sure exactly what it said, My bro was connecting to test it out. Is it a rights issue as far as the web folder? If I connect by ip, it gets forwarded right to the webserver. Any ideas from someone who has done this before?

ok, I am online now. Someone please try itout. I changed some of the settings in the ifup-local script. address should be www.mountainman.dyn.dhs.net

Nothing came up.

Here is the script that should be sending my ip to the hosting service. Im not real sure of my setup on it.

#!/bin/bash

# Description:
#  On a RedHat Linux system this script 
#  updates your DHS account if a network link is brought up.
#  Each time your account is updated an entry is logged using
#  syslog priority daemon.info with tag dhs. On a (default) RedHat 
#  system the message will appear in /var/log/messages. 
#  This script is run automatically (if installed correctly) 
#  each time a network interface is brought up;
#  it is called from '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post'.
#
# Tested systems: 
#  RedHat Linux 5.2, 6.1 and 6.2.
#
# Installation:
#  You need to have /usr/bin/lynx and /usr/bin/logger.
#  Install this file as: /sbin/ifup-local 
#  Adapt the configuration section below to your own needs.
#  Make it executable!!
#  Bring up your internet connection.

Could it be the server to report it to is dhs.net instead of dyn.dhs.net
<edit> On second readthrough it gives your correct IP with .org instead of .net.. </edit>

I will give it a try and see. it takes about 10 minutes (or so it says) for ip changes to take effect, so please bare with me. back in a few.
Ok, back again. give me a few more minutes and try it. I changed the part for hte domain from dyn.dhs.net to just dhs.net.
Sorry, i mean .org
:

ok.looking through my /var/log/messges, it looks like I am trying to send the info to the hosting service, but it is not successfully recieving it. I know the username and password is correct. That is an ip I manually entered about an hour ago.

ok, changed some stuff again and checked /var/log/messages. It looks like it successfully updated the dns server there. Wait about 10 minutes or so and let me know if you get anything.
Do I need to change the name in my apache server to match what the dhs server says?

OK, dns has been updated. Someone please try it out.
