Hi

I am using Bering uClib V2.2 and the ez-ipupdate module V3.0.11b8-5
Config as follows:


ADSL ROUTER
        Ext Dynamic IP Address eg: 202.27.43.2
        Internal IP Address 192.168.42.1
                |
                |
                |
Bering uClib V2.2 Firewall
        External IP Address 192.168.42.7
        Internal IP Address 192.168.1.1

My problem is I want ez-ipupdate to check my IP address every 10 minutes 
and if it changes, it then updates dyndns with the new IP address.

I have a script that does a wget to http://checkip.dyndns.org:8245/
it then checks to see what my last IP was and if there was a change it 
calls /usr/bin/ez-ipupdate to set it with eithe the one we got using wget 
or it uses -a 0.0.0.0 which tells dyndns to workout what my IP address is.

This script works great if I run it from the command line.
If I run it as a cron job configured as follows:

*/5     * * * * root    /usr/sbin/check_ip

it runs my script but fails with NO messages whatsoever when it goes to 
run /usr/bin/ez-ipupdate 

I have tried running /usr/bin/ez-ipupdate as a daemon but get a message 
saying you must give it an interface when running in daemon mode.
My /etc/ez-ipupd.conf  file has these settings: (I have tried most 
combinations...)

        service-type=dyndns
        user=myaccount:mypassword
        #interface=eth0
        address=0.0.0.0
        server=members.dyndns.org:8245
        host=mydomain
        cache-file=/tmp/ez-ipup
        execute="cp -f /tmp/new_ip /tmp/old_ip"
        foreground
        run-as-user=root
 
If I supply the interface parameter it takes its IP address and updates 
DYNDNS with it. Problem is its the internal IP between the ADSL router NOT 
the ADSL routers external IP..

Has anyone found a way to do this?

Thanks

Bruce
