As I read it, the client phones home every 30 minutes and the server gets the IP info from that, so the client is independent of any address changes. It is really a dumb process... brute force, if you will, but it works. Usually. Until it mysteriously quits. Yes, I could write a script to restart the job and cron it but that is a bandaid. If there is some fundamental f.u. going on I'd like to discover it. Logging has been no help.
No need to "write a script", but you should configure the noip2 app and it is really quite simple. noip2 -h will get you there. You can configure the time-lapse for the "call home" function to what-ever you like. In your case occasionally 30 minutes appears to be too long. I run a server and keep mine at 10 minutes. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
