Re: SOLVED - Getting a Dinamic Remote IP
You won't believe. I don't remember if I deleted the line w/ customer
(I'm typing from my work computer) but I see that in a example of a
ddclient.conf I found at the internet.
Anyway...
I changed my password. It was composed by spaces like the following format:
password: abcd efgh igkl
and I've changed for a simple new one
password: wxyz
and worked!
I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. The fact is w/ the first format
dyndns couldn't authenticate my username. But using the second format,
the debug message changed for "SUCESS", nslook worked nicely and a
friend could ping my box from outside (i mean, from the public
internet) and return my ip address. :)
Thanks community!!! :D

Not sure why your authorization isn't working... but do you really
want "custom=yes"? I think that's if you have a domain other than the
ones offered by dyndns.org (in my config, I _don't_ have custom=yes,
and everything is fine with a *.homelinux.net hostname).
You could try whether a manual login/update works, pointing your
browser at (of course, first edit your parameters):
http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=yourhostname.homelinux.net&myip=1.2.3.4
That's essentially the URL that ddclient uses (not the regular web
interface). The usual HTTP-Basic-Auth popup dialog should appear,
where you can test the login/password combination you've specified in
the config file. Also, the browser should display a single-word error
message ("nohost", "!yours", "nochg", ...) if anything goes wrong with
the update...
Also, you might try to run "ddclient -debug -verbose" to get even more
verbose debugging messages.

Hi there,
I installed ddclient using apt-get but there is a error message when I
run #ddclient -debug:

I tried to edit /etc/ddclient.conf at hand but still the errors
persist. I tried to run dpkg-reconfigure for default configurations
take over my previously and it didn't work.
I checked all the information a lot of times including password
throughout the file /etc/ddclient:
myhostname:/# cat /etc/ddclient.conf

myhostname.homelinux.net
It might be correct. Moreover, I restart the service throghout the
/etc/init.d/ddclient restart but unfortunatelly I can connect to
dyndns.
Could somebody help me telling me if I missed to configure anything?
Thank you,

Re: Getting a Dinamic Remote IP
Just for a different take on this...
In cases where you don't want to link a domain name to the dynamic IP,
you can set up a cron job to send you the IP address via e-mail.
Incidentally, I can't think of any arguments - security wise - against
using something like dyndns, but I can't say I've put a great deal of
thought into it. I set up a cron-job script mostly out of curiosity
than anything (the 'there must be a way' motive). Anyway, my script
(which borrows the key part from Douglas Ward's - thank you Douglas)
looks like:
---start script---
#!/bin/bash
#get the current IP address for this connection off the internet and mail it
to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
subject="IP Address for x"
#this next bit is on one line
curl http://checkip.dyndns.org/ 2>/dev/null | grep "Current" | awk
'{print $6}' | sed 's/<\/body><\/html>//' | sed 's/\///' | mail -e -s
"$subject" "$to"
---end script---
It works perfectly for me. Next thing I'm going to do (out of
curiosity, best way to learn) is output the result into a file and then
only send the e-mail when the IP address is different to what's in the
file - i.e. only send an e-mail when the IP address changes.

Hi folks,
I would like to get an remote IP. It's about my girlfriend's computer
where I share some directories and install some packages. The problem
is that all the time I need to connect via ssh into her computer I
must call her asking for its IP provided by her ISP throughout
ifconfig output.
What can I do in order to get the IP from her computer all the time
the machine is booted? Is it possible to send a message by email, SMS
or whatever way to do that? Further, her computer is connected by a
ADSL (dinamic) and my computer uses cable modem (dinamic also).

Re: Getting a Dinamic Remote IP
Hi, You need to obtain a program called "ddclient" from the dyndns.org site, which you run on your system. It will check to see if dyndns.org has the correct IP address every few minutes, and tell dyndns.org about it when it changes.

Getting a Dinamic Remote IP
Hi folks, I would like to get an remote IP. It's about my girlfriend's computer where I share some directories and install some packages. The problem is that all the time I need to connect via ssh into her computer I must call her asking for its IP provided by her ISP throughout ifconfig output. What can I do in order to get the IP from her computer all the time the machine is booted? Is it possible to send a message by email, SMS or whatever way to do that? Further, her computer is connected by a ADSL (dinamic) and my computer uses cable modem (dinamic also). Best regards, Romulo Sousa
