Title: ADSL PPPoE + DynDNS
Post by: JeromeV on September 18, 2000, 07:39:25 PM

I have installed E-Smith 4.0 and setup my ADSL connection as explained with the contrib e-smith-rp-pppoe. It works fine, the connection sharing too.
I've configured the system for dedicated mode with DHCP and DynDNS but the DynDNS update don't seem to work.
How can I use DynDNS with pppoe ?

Thanks and excuse my poor froggie's english.

Unless you have a dedicated static IP configuration, it has to be set dynamically in the configuration. This is done automatically if you have a dedicated connection and are using DHCP, but is not currently done for dialup connections. IIRC, you are using PPPoE which is effectively a dialup connection.

If you do:

cp /etc/e-smith/events/ip-change/* /etc/e-smith/events/ip-up

and your problem should be solved.

i "think" the e-smith guru's fully understand this situation and i am "sure" it will be fixed on an upcoming release
