I came across this by accident but I thought it might work for some of you. I'd recently created a dyndns.org account so that I could access my home servers via name vs ip address since AT&T has changed it a few times already. They had an OSX client so I installed it to see what it did. I made a manual push when I was at home and it updated the dyndns servers. The next day, when I was at work, I tried the address. It was pointing at my work ip. I didn't realize that the client runs in the background and I guess it sees changes in the network topography and updates it accordingly.
So, if my laptop gets stolen and the thieves aren't really brilliant, at least I can trace what ip they are coming from. I guess I also need to set up another account for home now :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:327050 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
