Has anyone gotten a d-link 614+ router setup to auto notify www.dyndns.org? If so, how. I've tried all their things in the faq, and other sources, with absolutely no luck. All I get in the log is DDNS: no host.
I don't know if this is the same situation, but I have a Linksys BEFSX41 that is supposed to have the same functionality. Unfortunately, it was broken when DynDNS.org updated their system because Linksys didn't follow the spec (see http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/faq.html#93). I can still do updates using software on my comp that checks the ip using http://checkip.dyndns.org
Maybe the D-Link has the same problem.

I've got the D-Link 604 router, and as Trey suggested, you could go to http://checkip.dyndns.org directly, or you could run the ddclient program to keep your IP up to date - it's a package available through YAST on SuSE 8.2 (I'm not sure about 8.1 or older.) My ddclient configuration then uses http://checkip.dyndns.org in the background (run from cron every hour or so.)
Ok, I thought that was it. Thanks to both you and Trey. I did get it sort of working with ddclient, but it sent the local address which is on the same page as the dynamic address. Got to figure out how to get it to read the second one, and not the first..

Try the example ddclient.conf shown below: ###################################################################### ## ## Example ddclient.conf for use with d-link router ## ###################################################################### daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog mail=root # mail all msgs to root mail-failure=root # mail failed update msgs to root pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file. # ## To obtain an IP address from Web status page (using the proxy if defined) use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address' # found after IP Address # protocol=dyndns2 # default protocol server=members.dyndns.org # default server login=dyndns-username # (use your own username)- default login password=dyndns-password # (use your own password)- default password #mx=mx.for.your.host # default MX #backupmx=yes|no # host is primary MX? #wildcard=yes|no # add wildcard CNAME? ## ## dyndns.org dynamic addresses ## ## (supports variables: wildcard,mx,backupmx) ## server=members.dyndns.org, \ protocol=dyndns2 \ your.chosen.domain # use your own chosen domain -- - Dave Grosvold -- --------------------------------------------------- Dave Grosvold Cell: (479) 651-3441 dave@rcanyon.com ---------------------------------------------------
