Title: Seeking workaround for bug 7000 - no ip on sme 8.0 x64 -> no external services
Post by: snuggles99 on January 15, 2013, 09:15:43 AM

Hello Everybody,

I am using a SME V 8.0 i386 x64 Server. The machine has the problem, that the external ip address isn't showing in the system.
(http://www.foto.costa-machinery.de/portscan/no_external_ip.jpg)

==> Therefore all the external services like HTTP Server, POP/IMAP Servers aren't reachable as the ports stay closed. <==

Now in bug 7000 SteveB found a workaround solution for this problem by manually entering his fixed ip address into the system config db.

Code: [Select]

config set ExternalInterface interface Configuration pppoe Gateway 0 HWAddress 00:07:xx:xx:xx:7b IPAddress 110.xxx.xxx.136 Name ppp0 Netmask 255.255.255.0
./masq restart
Me however, I have the problem that I have a changing ip address, and I imagine I would need some kind of a script, which could be executed any time the ip changes automatically, and which enters the current ip into the system db.

Would anybody have an idea about this?
What a script would have to look like?
And where resp. from what and when it should be called?

See also bug 7000:

I would be very thankful for any help as this bug practically leaves the server - as public server - useless!
