Remote Control Your DHCP Connected Laptop from Your iPad
The last time I used dyndns they were able to do both internal (private) and external (public) IP addresses (at least for the DNSUpdate.app client from http://www.dnsupdate.org/ which seems to be at the same version I was using). I had it set up to maintain two dynamic addresses, one for example called myname-private.dyndns.org and one called myname-public.dyndns.org allowing me to ssh into my server and then ssh from there into the individual machine.

In that case, dyndns could be a good solution for a home network, but probably not-so-much for a corporate style network, which can be a bit more complex :-)

the dydns client can record and send the machine's current IP address, which is exactly what the hint is doing - regardless of the complexiity of the network

I'm always interested in alternative ways to do things, so I downloaded both the client app from http://www.dnsupdate.org/ & the one from https://www.dyndns.com/ . I cannot see that either app has a feature for email notification. In fact, I only find mention of it on the dyndns forums, which seem to indicate that feature existed, but has since has been removed. It sounds like it may be possible if you sign up with DNS-O-Matic in conjunction with dyndns. Of course, there is always the possibility that I may be overlooking something. Nonetheless, with all the registrations and contacting external sites, I think I'll just stick with a script that I can control and update as needed. Thank you though for your comments; I was interesting to take a look at other possible solutions.

If you need email notification then I don't have any other pointers, but if you just want a domain name to resolve to the correct IP address as that IP address gets changed, then the dnsupdate.org client has done well by me. Edited on Feb 15, '11 05:27:28PM by j-beda
