[OT] Cable IP address

2015-10-28 Thread Greg Keogh
Folks, I had a Telstra cable modem installed this morning, but I haven't switched over to it yet because I don't know how it allocates IP addresses. I will have to update my DNS records to point the world to my home server. Web searches hint that the IP only changes if the modem is disconnected

My Cable modem IP rarely changes. I don't rely on it being that way anyway... Except for GetFlix, and there's an app that updates it in a second. (on their end). But yeah, very rarely have I noticed it change, six months or more maybe even a year. On Wed, 28 Oct 2015 at 15:21 Greg Low (罗格雷格博士)

Yep correct - rarely changes - just get a reliable DDNS service and a decent modem/router that "gets" DDNS. We use a DOCSUS 3 modem in bridge mode then have a Billion box plugged into it. Seems to work well and we can get to our NAS through it just fine. However, bit by bit we're moving it all

Thanks folks, that help confirm the chat in the forums. If the IP changes at monthly intervals, perhaps after a power failure or something else rare then I can live with just updating my 6 DNS records at VentralIP manually. I don't want to go back to using something like DynDns, as I used them

You can set that modem to bridge mode than then use another router that all your devices behind that. It's an option if you want better wifi than from that Netgear modem. — Sent from Mailbox On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 7:10 PM, Greg Keogh wrote: > Thanks folks, that help
