Re: [gentoo-user] Internet providers' IP range (xinetd.conf)
1. Put your host into dyndns and ssh to that name I'll often do this and then create a subdomain of a domain I own then have it CNAME to the dyndns domain name. I find that I have a easier time remembering the names I choose this way. -- Kyle
[gentoo-user] Internet providers' IP range (xinetd.conf)
Hi, I'd like to allow remote access (via ssh only) to a given machine. Unfortunately, my remote IP is dynamic and reverse lookup (e.g. specifying only_from = .skynet.be in /etc/xinetd.conf) doesn't work. So, I have to find out which IP ranges are used by a given internet provider (e.g. skynet.be). Does anybody know how to find out? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch RWTH-Aachen University Germany

Easiest way: ask them to tell you the ranges :) Otherwise would be guessing. You can look at arin (or local equivalent) to see which IP range(s) they own. But nobody knows for sure other than them.

Two solutions: 1. Put your host into dyndns and ssh to that name 2. You can ask peering routers for an ISP's IP range (it's public info and has to be that way). I forget the exact commands, but a mail thread on a different list covered this exact thing a while ago.
