I was wondering, is there anyway to get dhcpd to distribute the DNS from /etc/resolv.conf instead of statically defined servers from the dhcpd configs? Poohba, so what you're asking is can I have a real domainname use dynadns if I configure records to direct the domain to my dnaIP? My router connects to my ISP using PPPoE, which in turn updates the name servers in /etc/resolv.conf but dhcpd doesn't take that into account and thus the name servers sometime go outdated *My router machine (running NetBSD) I haven't found anything about this, which seems like it should be rather obvious.... * x86 (n=x86@p3m/member/x86) has joined ##networking * ChanServ gives voice to x86 ninjabunny: yes Poohba, I wish I knew I have the same question logically it would work * njan (n=james@about/security/staff/njan) has joined ##networking dyndns offers that service for a fee in case you didn't know. what you want to do is use a CNAME for the real domain to point to the dyndns that will work as long as the dyndns propagates fast enough at least as far as i know the way that it is set up works because my most recent ip was changed from the ip that i set up originally with my domain name and it redirected which now a days isn't that bad i think it just takes time to cycle through Zoneedit offers the same service (without actually having to use a dyndns as it has dynamic A Records) for free up to 5 domains most updating clients support zoneedit ez-ipupdate does, for one (*nix) * raina (n=nnraina@s185063.ppp.asahi-net.or.jp) has joined ##networking i don't have a "client", mine is embedded in my router does it support zoneedit or only dyndns? does it have custom firmware abilities by anychance? only dyndns. that i don't know. i have the belkin pre-n router i guess i could put a client on my computer or create a script to do so. so basically all I need to do is add a CNAME record and point it to my no-ip name that ez? that should work I still preper the custom solution though :p what is the "custom" solution? xSmurf, ty :) np Poohba: build your own router or get one of the Linksys WRT with a custom firmware I opted for the first so a cname record from *.domain.com to hostname.dyndns.org will include domain.com? afaik oh. i would have a hard time building a wireless router don't build a wireless router build a router and connect an access point to it that's basically what I do * raina_ (n=raina@s185063.ppp.asahi-net.or.jp) has joined ##networking I have a few access points connected to it. namely one Airport Base Station (with another one using WDS) and my old linksys router (802.11b only) * raina_ (n=raina@s185063.ppp.asahi-net.or.jp) has left ##networking ("Leaving") both only serve wifi, nothing else. Firewall, dhcp, dns, everything is done on the router (the router is a Cobalt Qube 2 running NetBSD) * raina has quit (Nick collision from services.) * Hotkey (n=noway@12-217-73-249.client.mchsi.com) has joined ##networking * Hotkey (n=noway@12-217-73-249.client.mchsi.com) has left ##networking is there a way to make explorer browse an SFTP server? jadacyrus, not out of the box. http://www.sftpdrive.com/ ^ you'd need something like that, jadacyrus
