Title: Dns question
Post by: Sidney on November 30, 2001, 01:05:09 AM

Hello,

 I have a cable modem connection to the internet with a dynamic ip address.

What Dns provider would you recommend for dynamic Dns that is free and would work good with SMEv5 ?

Also able to use my register domain address. www.myserver.com



Thanks

Free DNS: www.dyndns.org

Never had problem with it.

1- download ez-ipupdate.xxx.rpm (i use the rpm of mandrake)
2-rpm -ivh ez-ipupdate.xxx.rpm
3-now, in /usr/share/doc you have some templates of ez-ipupdate.conf
4-
service-type=hn
user=(user-hn : password)
interface=ppp0
host=(host.hn.org)

5-ez-ipupdate -c path/ez-ipupdate.conf
6-the end :)

PD: sorry, but my english is so bad, if you speak spanish, better:)
PD2: you can hosting a dot com or other international domain name :)
PD3:http://www.netvoluton.com.ar (hosting on E-smith V5 whit HN.ORG and EZ-IPUPDATE.

I would suggest that you use ZoneEdit (www.zoneedit.com) instead. HammerNode has proven to be unreliable (down for over 4 days earlier this year). If you search the forums for "zoneedit" you'll find exactly how to set it up from the e-smith end. It's very simple to do.
