Cox (rhymes with "Cox") has been spontaneously switching my home IP address recently. It locks me out to ssh.
I want to use expect and lynx to write a script that logs into the D-Link router as a browser does, navigates to the place where the WAN IP address is shown, reads it, and sends me an email at work if it's changed. However, experiments with lynx accessing the router result in no joy. Looking up 192.168.xxx.1 first Looking up 192.168.xxx.1 Making HTTP connection to 192.168.xxx.1 Sending HTTP request. HTTP request sent; waiting for response. Alert!: Access without authorization denied -- retrying Retrying with access authorization information. Looking up 192.168.xxx.1 Making HTTP connection to 192.168.xxx.1 Sending HTTP request. HTTP request sent; waiting for response. Alert!: Unexpected network read error; connection aborted. Can't Access `http://192.168.xxx.1/' Alert!: Unable to access document. lynx: Can't access startfile I suspect the " Access without authorization denied" step means that the router embedded program's asking for admin/passwd (and I do get asked for this within lynx) is not somehow getting properly authenticated to the router. Some java thing? Q1: Is there some setting for lynx that will make this bad thing not happen? Q2: Is there an alternative way of "pinging" the router to get the WAN address, preferably with a CLI program?
