dnsexit
« on: March 19, 2008, 02:46:12 AM »
Has anyone ever setup a program from dnsexit? (They provide DNS for Dynamic IP's ) Their web address is http://www.dnsexit.com and the program link is http://downloads.dnsexit.com/ipUpdate.tar.gz

If anyone could give some pointers on how to install this it would be much appreciated. :)

Thank :)

Why not use DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org)

it sounds like the file permissions on that script is incorrect. Did you follow the installation instructions from their website to the point?

Yes, I followed their instructions but no luck :(

I was looking at your DynDNS, but I'm not having much luck with it either :(

AFAIK, DynDNS is supported by SME by default.

I presume you're connecting via an ADSL modem, and your SME server is initiating the PPPoE connection?

I did get DynDNS to work using the DDNS that is built in the Linksys router (I never knew it was there) But after looking at DynDNS prices, I think I would like to get DnsExit to work on SME... It's free :)

I GOT IT TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!! :)

There are two links on the DnsExit home page to download their Linux IpUpdate client... Choose the link called "More DNS Clients" and download "ipUpdate-1.6-2.noarch.rpm" (I originally downloaded "ipUpdate.tar.gz" and couldn't get it to work)

It took me about 5 minutes to install and setup (and I'm new to linux) Here is a direct link to the Update client I used. :)
