I need DynDNS as my internet connection has a dynamic IP, hence why I have used freedns.afraid.org as they offer use of their DNS servers.
My IP address is DHCP too, but the host name assigned by the ISP is consistent. This is what allows me to use a DNS alias. No matter what the current IP address, my name is mapped to that MAC based host name. If your host name also changes then this won't work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org I am with PlusNet but I have never received any hostname information. I might email then and ask because as you say, I should be able to specify a hostname in FreeDNS or DynDNS instead of using a dynamic client. Never crossed my mind :D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
