Speedport W 503 V
Date: 04/2010
Trouble with DynDNS.org
The newly acquired Speedport seems to not work properly with a dyndns dynamic ip. Although it has the option to update your domain to your changing IP, I noticed several times, that the old one is still active and I could not access the computer. (A second no-ip.org entry works here).
The solution is the update tool from the dyndns homepage.
After download, unzip to your appfolder (/opt?) and do
chmod +x /opt/inadyn/bin/linux/inadyn
to make it executable. Use the sample config file in /etc/inadyn.conf
and edit your account settings.
# Basic configuration file for inadyn update_period_sec 600 # Check for a new IP every 600 seconds username test password test dyndns_system dyndns@dyndns.org alias test.homeip.net
To start it on every boot, I added
/opt/inadyn/bin/linux/inadyn &
to /etc/init.d/boot.local
← opensuse specific. Use your distro manual to find out which scripts are executed on startup.
