A command line tool to update dyndns.org IP info
Authored by: ecovelli on Jan 27, '05 11:58:58AM

I have several DynDNS accounts running from different locations. I used to use a client to update the ip and it worked *most* of the time.

However, I have no need to do this at the OS level anymore. Why, because most of the new routers, i.e. LinkSys and SMC, have the client built in. Works perfectly and is always current.

NetGear routers have DNS update clients as well. However, if you don't want to use a router (such as when you only have one machine to connect to the 'Net, or prefer using your OS X Internet Sharing feature) then the DYNDNSorg application seems like it could be useful.

A command line tool to update dyndns.org IP info
Authored by: KARTMan on Nov 08, '05 04:18:22PM

I have a Linksys 54WRT Router and am trying to configure it to use DDNS. Am I missing something, but how do I get the Router to forward the web commands to my OS X box, so I can use my OS X box to host a website. Is there somewhere in the router that I give it the address of the host where my web pages reside?
Thanks
