Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4180748 By: wimpunk Okay, the name is a little confusion: the only thing it does is updating dynamic dns servers. It's a dynamic DNS server client which updates the IP on the dns server. It updates if it differs from the one in cache, not more, not less. Btw, this way of working is the recommended way by dyndns. Could you explain a little more when it doesn't do what you expect? How do you test it? As recommended by dyndns.org, it doesn't work if you change your IP at dyndns by using another program or the website of dyndns. You have to change it to another value by using ddclient if you want to test the update. The other way is to force a change of your own IP address (in my case by releasing my dhcp address). This is the way ddclient works: 1. use the use-option to find IP 2. compare IP to cache-IP 3. if (differs) { update and write2cache } 4. sleep (daemon-time) 5. goto 1. So if you want to test if ddclient does a correct update you can either force an ip by using 'use=ip ip=1.2.3.4' or force your provider to change the IP. It's the only way. wimpunk ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
