Hi Listmates,
I'd like to perform an ssh-based network installation on a remote machine using OpenSUSE net install CD. The remote machine is behind a DSL-router that gets dynamic public IP address from the internet provider. My problem is that I cannot connect to it from my local machine without knowing the public IP address of the router because the remote machine has a private IP address. Is it possible to find out the public IP address of the DSL router on the other side after starting the installation program from the CD? Thanks,
Paul
That depends. My home system uses dhcp from my ISP, but the address changes so seldom it's virtually static. Does that computer have a consistent host name? If so, you could use that. You could have the router configured to use something like DynDNS to give it a host name. Or, you could have an email app on that computer configured to send a reply to a specific trigger message. That reply will contain the address assigned by the ISP to that computer. You'll also have to configure the router to pass ssh to that computer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
