I created a script named update_portfw_ip.sh, with the 2 lines #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/svi network ipfilter reload in the directory /etc/ppp/ip-up.d , did chmod a+x, then reset the DSL signal. Didn't work. The portfw IP as given by `ipmasqadm portfw -nl` is still the old IP, and not the new one given by `ip addr show dev ppp0` . (It doesn't mater what the script is named does it? It automatically runs all scripts marked executable in that directory, correct?) > BTW if you have dynamically assigned internet addresses, the > firewall could be assigned like that. > The portforwarding isn't affected by the external adress is it. > You're problem with an external connection is that you don't know > the external adress after rebooting and so you cannot connect with > your box. No, the external address is known, connection with the box is fine, problem is only that the IP used by the port forwarding is incorrect. > put something like "mail me the new external ip" in ip-up. I am not sure how this helps -- you mean to do a manual update after I read my email? I can do that already by using the weblet to look at the viewnet page output. I want it to be automatic.
