Triggered by this thread I have just setup an account on http://www.dyndns.com/ and installed the ddclient using aptitude.
First it started to supply the IP address of my own computer but that's a NAT-ed address so I had to configure it to fetch the IP from my router. As ddclient does not support my Edimax router out of the box I had to look at the status page and find out how to fetch the Internet IP address from its web based management interface. I added the following to /etc/ddclient.conf and now it supplies the external IP of my home network to dyndns. fw-login=admin fw-password=******* fw=http://192.168.2.1/stanet.asp fw-skip=IP\s*Address\s*: As ddclient is a Perl script, let me remind you that the Israeli Perl Workshop will be on 31 December 2007 http://act.perl.org.il/ilpw2007/ regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://www.szabgab.com/ Perl Training in Israel http://www.pti.co.il/ Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=82476 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
