Title: Dynamic DNS update
Post by: Dario on March 19, 2003, 07:45:34 PM

Hello everyone. I want to know how can i make my SME server to load a web page from my dns provider (to update the ip)  everytime I boot up or mi ip changes.
I know is has something to do  with the lynx command (ex: lynx myprovideer.dyanamicupdate.com)  in /s-bin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/*custom but its not working. I now something is missing in other place. Any help out there?? Thanks

I'm guessing that what you actually want to do is address your computer remotely even though it's on a dial-up, DSL or cable modem with a dynamic IP address that changes every time you connect.

Why not use the built-in dynamic DNS support and sign-up with one of the supported dynamic DNS providers?  (I recommend dyndns.org)

Once setup this will allow you to address you server using a name (e.g. myserver.dyndns.org) instead of having to load a web page.

Jason.
