Anyway, it is not symmetric bandwidth. It is 300 Mbit download, and I don't remember what upload, but much less, perhaps 30. Another competitor offers 300 symmetric. I'll have to check again what I really have now, then get dyndns or something (whatever my router supports directly, I guess).
You can always run a dyndns update from a cronjob.
Yes, I know. But there will be an interval, after my ISP changes my IP till the script runs, that they will not match.
My router has settings for DynDNS.org, TZO, and No-IP. I have not investigated any. At least, not recently.
Years ago, I managed to write a script that logged into my router and interrogated it for the external IP. In my current router I don't see I can do this. The advantage is that it is fast, not requiring to query an external web page. I have a script that does this, but the response takes several seconds and sometimes fails completely and has to be repeated.

The query runs every 10 minutes but miniminal system load and only reports changes which only happen if I *reset* my modem/router (not power cycle) or there is an extended network outage (which has happened) or I direct the router to request a new ip addr. Except for wide network outage, I cannot remember a time when my system was inaccessable from the net :) (fingers crossed). -- (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
