Title: DYNDNS.ORG and ADSL SPEED TOUCH PRO
Post by: Arthur on May 14, 2002, 11:49:22 PM

Hi

I spent a lot of time to set up my SME with the ADSL!
 
First I had the problem that you couldn't reach the SME behind the router from the internet. Finally I solved the problem with some NAT entries. This works now.

Now I have the problem, that my ISP each day changes the IP of the ADSL router. Therefore I set up a dyndns.org account like "mydomain.com"
Also my SME is set to this domain "mydomain.com" and I have also activated the automatic-IP-update-function to dyndns.org with the right username and password.
The problem is, that the SME doesn't update the IP address on dyndns.org!

After hours of hard work I found out the following:
/var/log/messages
May 14 20:22:21 firewall dyndns.org: "mydomain.com" does not exist on the dyndns.org system.

Any advice strongly appreciated!

Arthur

I have several friends using ADSL (their IP does not change EVERY DAY) and DYNDNS for custom domains should use a custom update.

Edit /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/dyndns.org and change the 20th line as shown below

FROM:

system=dyndns\&hostname="$DOMAIN"\&Myip="$IPADDR"\&wildcard=ON

TO:

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

I hope it works for you.
