I'm in Jeremie, Haiti setting up a satellite internet connection and computer lab at a local school. I'd like to be able to remotely administer each of the machines in the lab from the US since there is nobody locally to do it. The satellite modem's IP is dynamic, and each of the machines on the network is assigned an IP using DHCP from a DLink router. Any ideas on how this could be possible? We're using the Personal Desktop install from the LTSP 4.2.0 disks. Any help would be much appreciated since we're heading back to the states in 2 days.
I guess you meant the K12LTSP 4.2.0 disks. Ummm, does the lab run LTSP, or are the installs complete standalones?
Perhaps things like this could be something as a step along the way? http://myip.us/
Or set the machine(s) up to automatically send you an (e. g. encrypted) mail with its/their current IP, perhaps with a script?
This must have been done before...
You might check what remote admin features the D-Link router has. SSH?
