i used the dyndns.
added debian sarge repo on /etc/apt/source.list
installed using apt-get
amended the file copying the template from dyndns.com

since my domain have a MX registered as mail.mydomain.com
i added mail.mydomain.com as a virtual domain and after adding some users i set 
them up , with any alias against the virtual domain.

regards

Hi Nicolas,

 

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense.  Have you 
the same problem by receiving mail from an ISP?  Do you know how to set up 
the mail part of ebox so that it can actually receive mail from the outside 
world or do you think I will have to register with DynDNS or 
something.

 

Johan

  hi,

i 
  have similar setup to yours:

ADSL => EBOX PC => SWITCH (wireless 
  router)

i assume your switch does not give ip address to your network, 
  if it does you can use ebox like this after you disable this 
  facility.

the connection to the ADSL has to be set as external having 
  dynamic ip (dhcp).
create another connection (eth1) and set as static ip, 
  and choose
an ip adddress eg:192.168.1...1
a netmask eg: 
  255.255.255.0

then go into dhcp
choose the tab of eth1
and enter 
  the necessary detials:
gateway: 192.168.1.1
search domain: 
  192.168.1.1
prim name server: 192.168.1.1
sec name server: <ip given 
  from you ADSL name server>
apply changes

in rages:
give it a 
  name: myHouse
from: 192.168.1.100
to: 192.168..1.150

this will 
  give all number in between (51 ip addresses)

click on the +

and 
  save changes


i am sure other will be able explain 
  better

regards,

  Hi all,

   

  I am very new to Ebox and installed ebox and 
  sarge with the base cd one can download from the ebox website.

   

  I have got everything up and running with only 
  one network card.  I tried to use two network cards so that the one 
  network card acts as an external card (connected directly to the ADSL router) 
  and the other one internal (connected directly onto the network 
  switch).

   

  Could anyone please help me to configure these 
  two cards so that they can work together?  I cannot seem to get it 
  right.  The gateway for the external card is set to the adsl router's ip 
  and the internal card have a gateway of the external network card..  
  Logically this makes sense to me but it just does not seem to work and the 
  network clashes.

   

  Then another thing.  Like I said, I now only 
  have one network card (not marked as external) connected to the network 
  switch.  The adsl router is also connected to the switch but the network 
  users get their settings via DHCP and everything is working fine.  I am 
  trying to set up a mail account on outlook to collect mail from my ISP but I 
  cannot reach that ISP's server.  I have tried various pop servers as well 
  as IMAP servers but the connection just times out.

   

  I have opened ports 25, 110, 143, 993, etc hoping 
  that this will sort out the problem but it does not.  Have any of you 
  experienced this problem before and is there a workaround?

   

  When I set the ebox up as a mail server, i can 
  get mail from the ebox server's IP as incoming mail server.  Can I set 
  ebox up to collect mail from the isp on all the users I add on 
it?

   

  Please help!

   

  Regards,

  Johan
