Dynamic DNS
Hi there.
How do I setup Dynamic DNS on a ReadyNas. I see there is DDclient app which asks for the config file to be put into the share it sets up during installation. Has anyone got an example config file for "noip" I could use.

This feature is not available. Really specifying DNS is a router function, and not the role
of a NAS on a private LAN. Marto. - StephenBGuru - Experienced User
Well DDNS often needs a client PC application, since many routers (including many Netgear models) only work with dyndns - which is no longer free.Marto73 wrote: Amtra,

It would be useful if an add-on in the NAS could take keep the ddns IP address up to date - esp. if the NAS is running 24x7. - amtrakuk1AspirantSo even with the ddns "app" installed it wont update dynamic dns servers for services like noip etc?
Unfortunatly I use a cable modem/router suppled by the ISP so I HAVE to use their router which does not support dynamic IP accounts.
Before I ran a ddns service on my BSD server which basically did the same job as a ddns service running on a router. - amtrakuk1Aspirantsorry I think the app is the DYNdns - which I understand can be configured for other providors
- StephenBGuru - Experienced UserIf you do sort out how to use this with noip or another provider, please post back. I'm sure others will be interested.
- amtrakuk1AspirantI'll get on the case this evening. It looks like the plugin should do ddns updates
- machareAspirantChangeip.com provide a script for updating a dynamic DNS. The script will run on my Readynas Duo
