Title: Problem when ip address changes with 5.1.2
Post by: Mattias Hult on February 19, 2002, 07:30:40 PM

Since upgrading my 5.0 to 5.1.2, the system doesn't handle ip address changes. It seem that the system doesn't "get" that the address has changed. The configuration reports the old address, and the dynamic dns service isn't updated. When I update the dns manually through their web interface, my server is still unavailable from the Internet. it responds to pings to it's hostname, but ftp and incoming e-mail doesn't work. If I change the configuration to static ip, using the latest dhcp address from my isp, it works correctly. When I change back to dynamic ip, it still works, provided the address hasn't changed. As soon as the address changes, however, the problem comes back.

Any thoughts on this?

I'm having the same problem too!

Can I put something in cron.daily to force an IP change?


This is pretty sad...

Problem solved by performing a fresh installation of 5.1.2. I guess i've done too many upgrades...
