Title: dyndns.org not updating
Post by: Trampas Stern on June 27, 2002, 01:55:27 AM

It appears as though my dyndns.org is not updating with the correct IP address. Is their a way to check that the client is running?

Thanks
Trampas

check out /tmp/dyndns.log it should be failry new and should have something like

good 217.80.146.127

in it...

I checked the file dyndns.log file and it has only one line:

nohost

Do you know which client is being used? I have been having some other troubles as well. I had a linksys router before the e-smith box and the problems started after removing the router. I also noticed that the port forwarding quit working at the same time. I went into the server-manager and removed the port forwarding and then readded it, which made it work. I downloaded the port forwarding rpm from one of the how-tos.

Thanks

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...

Thanks

As that I am a link newbie how do I force it to run?

I was trying:

sh dyndns.org xx.xx.xx.xx myid mypass mydomain

but it gave me an error:

bash !xxxx:event not found

where "!xxxx" is the last part of my password for dyndns.org. That is my password has a bang symbol in it.

Thanks again
Trampas

Thanks Pat!

I changed my password and the script as you suggested and it appears to be working now!
