After 5 days with the ddclient installed and configured, today I noticed that my internet IP address has changed, but the ddclient is not updating this change into my account in dyndns.org.
The rpm package I downloaded is from dyndns.org.
I also tried yum install ddclient from freshrpms.
But both packages installation results are the same: Getting this message from the mail from ddclient to root : " Caught SIGTERM ; exiting ".
My fc2 is behide a Linksys router BEFW11s4 ver.2 - Never updated bios.
May be I really don't know how to configured the /etc/ddclient.conf correctly, below is the content of it and see if any one can help ;
#fw-login=admin, fw-password=XXXXXX # FW login and password
You need to uncomment the above line and put in your password.
#
## To obtain an IP address from FW status page (using fw-login, fw-password)
#use=fw, fw=192.168.1.254/status.htm, fw-skip='IP Address' # found after IP Address
You need to also uncomment the above line and change the fw= line to the ip/address to the status page on your linksys router. As in mine is something like this...
## To obtain an IP address from FW status page (using fw-login, fw- password) use=fw, fw=192.168.1.1/RouterStatus.htm, fw-skip='IP Address' # found after IP Address
You also may need to disable ecn in the kernel by adding the following line to your /etc/sysctl.conf file..
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0
May or may not need to reboot after adding that line (think there is a command you can run to take affect without rebooting).
When I made change as you mentioned above and particularly like this ;
use=fw, fw=192.168.1.1/Status.htm, fw-skip='IP Address' # found after IP Address
The ddclient this time passed out the message :
SUCCESS: updating MyAccountName.dyndns.org: good: IP address set to
192.168.1.1.
This time it updated the IP address database record with my router's LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 instead of taking the WAN IP address. So what did I miss?
