Topic: Dynamic Dns Update

[Tom Veitch]

I have setup the dynamic dns  as per the manual and
Dynamic Dns update does not update to dyndns.org
I have setup this up on two servers one 5.5 and one 5.1.2

I have sent this in as a bug only to be told they don't offer free support,

What a joke,

has any one got this to work with out having to change it

Hi,

i have the same (??) problem on some server. for me works to edit '/sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/dyndns.org'

I have chanced 'DOMAIN=$4' to 'DOMAIN=name.dyndns.org' - without 'www' !

I hope my english is not toooo bad and this helps you

I guess you've seen the various Dynamic dns how-to's at:
http://www.e-smith.org/cgi-bin/contrib.cgi

I also noticed that there was a bug in SME 5.0 (listed on the bugs page) that might be related.  Says it was fixed in all later versions, though.

Do you get any errors listed in the logs?

[Gregg La Baw]

Pay for the support. It's cheap.

Tom,

What are you using to access the internet, dsl or cable. DynamicDNS update will only work with PPPoE not PPPoA.
When you do

# ifconfig

under inet addr in eth1 (assuming you are using eth1 for your external access) do you get the ip address assigned to you by your isp or your local server address.

i had to change the dyndns update script

/sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/dyndns.org

on line 20 from

system=dynamic\&hostname="$DOMAIN"\&myip="$IPADDR"\&wildcard=ON

to

system=custom\&hostname="$DOMAIN"\&myip="$IPADDR"\&wildcard=ON

give it a try...
