Title: External IP not updating with dyndns
Post by: matthew001 on September 09, 2005, 08:31:56 AM

Hi

I have setup dyndns.org using the in-built wizard thingo in the server setup console, but for some reason its not updating my external ip address, I have to do it manually through the dyndns.org

Is their away to fix this so it automatically updates it as its getting a bit annoying.

Everything is correct the username and password that I have setup for dyndns in the sme server.

But it shows the correct ip address when I go into the Web-Based SME Server Manager. and go to the review configuration.

Is their away to fix this. Is their some little thing I need to change in sme server. Is their a log that I can have a look at to see if its displaying errors when trying to update or something.

Matthew

Go to this thread and read through, there are hints. Seems like you have to use a helper program called ddclient: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=28188.msg117015#msg117015
