Hi,

We have a office separated of around 300 mts that have a liitle network.

That network has an adsl  router connected directly to internet, behind of it there is a Linksys WRT54GL running OpenWRT Kamikaze 8.09, and finally there are some PC's connected to Linksys through a hub.

The problem is that public ip address of adsl router is dynamic. I've configured to adsl device to forward ssh traffic to Linksys.

So if I want to access  from my work office to that remote Linksys I have to beg  that public ip address had not be modified by the ISP.

A workaround is phone to coworker at "remote" office and ask her that access to document of a local web server and looking at the logs I can figure it out what is the ip... but I'd like to access with no annoyances...

Is there a way for using dyndns and get updated resolved hostname?

Thanks in advance!

Yes use dyndns with the URL mode of IP update.

/etc/config/ddns

config 'service' 'myddns'
        option 'service_name' 'dyndns.org'
        option 'force_interval' '72'
        option 'force_unit' 'hours'
        option 'check_interval' '10'
        option 'check_unit' 'minutes'
        option 'enabled' '1'
        option 'domain' 'host'
        option 'username' 'user'
        option 'password' 'pass'
        option 'ip_source' 'web'
        option 'ip_url' 'http://checkip.dyndns.com'

OK! I've got it! That setting takes the trouble that  I do when  I phone and ask to access to out local web server wink

Thanks!
