Hi Lior, Installing noip service on the router is not wise. You don't have much persistent storage there, and not many tools (perl as i recall is not avail. there). I have this router, and I tried (unsuccessfully) to enable SNMP on it to achieve this data. Instead, I wrote a small script in perl

A simpler solution to that (after writing a similiar script) is running - html2text http://checkip.dyndns.org | grep Current | cut -d : -f2 When you access one of the checkmyip sites it get's the router's external ip and that way no sshing is needed. Lior. On 6/29/05, Noam Meltzer [EMAIL
