David:
Heya. Some answers below:
As per our previous discussions I am now using the widows echoserver and the fqdn for it maps to a dynamic ip. I see that when the echoserver authenticates it then drops the name of the proxy server and just stores the ip address. It looks like it stores it in the registry, and then retrieves it on next startup.
This leads me to several questions:
1) If my IP address changes, even though my dynamic dns client from no-ip.com adjusts for that, I don't see that kaboodle would be able to pick this up, since I don't see it storing the server name?
Kaboodle does mistakingly store the list of proxy servers as IP addresses, not as FQDN's. We'll fix that. Then when it starts up, it'll reconnect correctly, even if the FQDN resolves to a different IP address (e.g., dynamic-DNS).
4) In any event, is there a way that I could preconfigure the kaboodle install - to send to a customer with the proxy server name and/or ip address already added?
If it read from a config file I could change the config file. If I have to write to the registry, then I could figure out how to do that programmatically.. don't know how but obviously there must be a way.
It's a good idea, but not yet supported. That goes onto a second list. :)
cheers, Scott
