          Yes, the output looks ok, so if you've done this after Scott had updated the files, you'll have the correct versions for dyndns to work smoothly

          And yes, I'm still running fine with dyndns.

          I also find it hard to search through the ticket system to find out if something is fixed in a new release
          It would be nice if there would be a changes.txt file that is updated at each new release stating what has been fixed, updated, added, deleted
          e.g.

          0.96.6:

          • fixed dyndns cachedIP issue
          • updated Intel NIC drivers to version 999.0.2.99stable
          • …

          0.96.4:

          • ...

          The discriptions are so vague I find it impossible to spend so long looking through so many entries to see if something is fixed.
          Would be nice for at least the major fixes to be mentioned to stop a few of the questions poping up.

          Someone that can understand the CVS could volenteer to make a changes post? :)  Doesn't have to be the devs

            This will change once we release.  Right now we do not have the resources to document every change seperately.

            Sorry!

              Kind of started to think about the cachedIP thing used in dyndns (yes, it's me again ;D)

              Just making a change request, don't know if that's the right place…
              What if you checked the current WAN IP against the current IP in the DynDNS service in stead of keeping a cachedIP at the firewall?
              Started thinking about this when I manually changed my dyndns IP using the website of dyndns.org to check if it would update, but it didn't because the CachedIP in the firewall was still the same as current WAN IP.
              Don't know if those situatiions happen frequently, but it could!

                Hi,

                You probably won't believe it, but I just got mail from DynDNS telling me my hostname is about to expire in 5 days!
                In the system logs it nicely says each hour: IP not changed and 28 days not passed, so not updating.
                Had to clean my dyndns.cache file to make it update!

                Something wit the timestamp in the file? of the script?

                M.

                  It expires in 30 days?  So that would be 25 days?  So it hasn't quite hit 28 days?

                    Well, better make it less than 25 days then in stead of 28, because getting an e-mail that it will expire is not really the type of e-mails I want to get.
                    One thing for sure, it'll take another month to know if it would really update at the 28th day, cause I've forced it right now :-)

                      I got blocked to. I'm running beta2 and followed the instructions but it says command not found. Do you have that script available for download?

                      Thanks,
                      Tom

                        These problems have been solved for a long time.  Are you sure that you are not running multiple clients?
