Topic: Solved: My dynamic DNS services (dyndns & no-ip) are not updating

[LANMonkey]

My server is configured as servergateway and I have double checked the authentication for my dyndns service.  That's OK, but I am still not getting any update for my IP address.  I have recently changed the configuration of the server from server only to server/gateway and had ports forwarded from a router to the server and everything worked fine.  I have several domains tied to my ibays.

I use dyndns and also no-ip, which has a client that must be installed.  I installed the binaries, I assumed that there is no compiler in SME.

How can I figure out why SME's client or the no-ip client cannot or will not update my address for either the dyndns or no-ip service?

OK, no-ip is working.  I followed the instructions all the way to the part before moving it to the right directory for automatic functioning.  So all I had to do was move it and use the command "noip2" to get things rolling.  This much is solved.  Detailed instructions for installation of the no-ip client are here:

Take a look at the ddclient Howto, link at top of page.

Yes, I did that.  I assume the configuration managed dynamic dns update client is broken.  Should I submit a bug report?  Seems like I should be able to see how it is not working before I do that.

Here is a link to ddclient:

And the ddclient interface is a little confusing.  I had 5 virtual domains and they all showed up on the new panel.  But I had to submit a login and password for each one.  I guess I can't use this new panel for my no-ip account?

If you are using SME server's dynamic DNS client and it does not work correctly, you should report via the bug tracker.

If you are using any other dynamic DNS client - well, that is off-topic for this forum.
