I don't recommend anyone use free dyndns via router support. If you reboot your router more than once or twice in a month or have a power outage or whatever dyndns stops updating the IP automatically and will cancel your account for too much activity. You won't know it for a few weeks until they send you an email saying your account will expire in a week unless you go to the site and ask them nicely to reset it. Not a big deal to do that but it becomes annoying when it keeps happening over and over.
Using a software IP updater on a workstation or server seems to work much better. -----Original Message----- From: razza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 3:18 AM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] NAT and SIP.conf update.

I'm sure if you use a DNS in SIP.CONF for your external IP this is only resolved when loaded? _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
