Downtime

[Sidoh]

DynDNS's updating client has never worked for me, ever. I'm going to change to no-ip one of these days, or something...

And the reason for the router's page was probably that somebody else picked up my IP who has remote administration for his router enabled. Coincidence.

That's what I was getting at. :)

Yeah, no-ip has worked perfectly for me.

let this be known, that if it goes down again

u will regret it. trust me

pay the extra 10 bucks for a static ip? :)

Try $90. I would have to upgrade to a "business" package, which also has the side effect of restricting my monthly bandwidth.

How much bandwidth does this site serve out on average anyways?

[Chavo]

lame, my ISP offers it without the 'business' upgrade

Hmm, same here.  I've had it for the last few months.  I think it's $5/month more.

I'm already restricted to 200MB per day anyhow. :P

iago, Google for inadyn. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but once you do that, just run it in a screen and it'll check your external IP every ~10 minutes (configurable) and update if needed.

Isn't that what all update clients for dynamic ip services are supposed to do? :P

200mb per day?

Over a span of a week.

I've never checked, but likely not much for the site. I'm more worried about my family's usage.

Running it in a screen is eww. Doesn't it have daemon mode? Plus, the name sounds way too much like "Initech", and that's not cool. And if you don't know what "Initech" is, you don't watch enough movies.

Some day, I'll bring my server to Calgary. It's just a matter of driving from Winnipeg to Calgary, since I can't really take it on a plane with me and I wouldn't want to check it (or ship it).

DynDNS's update client worked for me on FreeBSD. Linux must suck. :)

Are you sure it was the same client?  They have a couple different ones written by members.  All of the ones for Linux (that I've tried anyway) suck nuts.  They were a bit cumbersome to configure and the documentation on them wasn't very good either.
