Dyndns.com doesn't update w/SME 6,am I doing something wrong
« on: April 07, 2006, 04:32:54 AM »
Hello

I'm using sme 6.0 as server/gateway, connected to a DSL.

I subscribed for the customDNS of dyndns ($ 35 yr) and configure
it in the console so sme will update automatically.

I doesn't work :( I don't know why, from time to time I receive a cron
email saying:

/etc/cron.weekly/refresh-ddns:
Connection refused at /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/dyndns line 56.

reviewing this: what I did was create, let's suppose that my domain
is PINK.COM, then i add a my domain PINK.COM to point to dyndns DNS's
and update IP manually on it, so far so good, I can access my site from
outside using PINK.COM.

Now configure SME for domain: pink.com
server name: server
dyndns system: dyndns.com (commercial)
username: (my dyndns account)
pass: my dyndns password)

technically my servername is server.pink.com in this context but
from outside I access it as www.pink.com

maybe that's why dyndns reject my server update, could that be the case?.

if this is the case, can I do something about it because I want to access the
server from the outside as pink.com, not server.pink.com

thanks a lot!
