[TriLUG] DSL and ddclient

[sanjeev rathore]

Hi,

I am using dyndns.org, ddclient and SBC SpeedStream
5360 DSL modem to automatically update dynamic IP
address.  Far as I know, I have to edit the
/etc/ddclient.conf to make things work.  I have done
that but still to no avail.  Here is some snipped of
the ddclient.conf file:


fw-login=myLogin at ameritech.net,            
fw-password=myPassword		# FW login and password
#
## To obtain an IP address from FW status page (using
fw-login, fw-password)
use=fw, fw=192.168.1.254/status.htm, fw-skip='IP
Address' # found after IP Address
#
## To obtain an IP address from Web status page (using
the proxy if defined)
#use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP
Address' # found after IP Address
#
use=ip,                ip=127.0.0.1	# via static IP's
use=if,                 if=eth0		# via interfaces
use=if, if=ppp0
use=web					# via web
#
protocol=dyndns2				# default protocol
#proxy=fasthttp.sympatico.ca:80			# default proxy
server=members.dyndns.org		# default server
#server=members.dyndns.org:8245			# default server
(bypassing proxies)

login=myLoginId				# default login
password=myPassword					# default password
#mx=mx.for.your.host				# default MX
#backupmx=yes|no				# host is primary MX?
#wildcard=yes|no				# add wildcard CNAME?

##
## dyndns.org dynamic addresses
##
## (supports variables: wildcard,mx,backupmx)
##
 server=members.dyndns.org,		\
 protocol=dyndns2			\
 webxcs.gotdns.com
 
 server=members.dyndns.org,		\
 protocol=dyndns2			\
 webxcs.com
Ψ



What do I need to edit so my website can have IP
address update dynamically with  DSL connection?

Thanks,
Sanjeev Rathore
