I hacked a script called "setip" I found on freshmeat. It's meant for ppp dialups. This works fine. put it in Cron to run every 5 minutes. make sure your .netrc file has the FTP information to FTP in with your username and password. yes, it's really a hacked kludge, but it works for me! #!/usr/local/bin/bash if [ `ifconfig ep0 | wc -l ` -gt 1 ] then if [ "`cat ~/.ipaddr`" != "`ifconfig ep0`" ] then date > ~/.ip.dat ifconfig tun0 >> ~/.ip.dat ifconfig tun0 > ~/.ipaddr ftp host.mydomain.com << EOTEXT > /dev/null lcd /home/myaccount cd /home/myaccount/public_html put .ip.dat ip.html EOTEXT echo "PUT" fi fi -----Original Message----- From: J [mailto:dude@shell.schulte.org] Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 4:32 PM To: Jonathan Chen Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: DHCP client IP I think you got me wrong. The client works fine. The only problem is, i cant use remote access on it because i dont know what it's IP address is. That's why i was asking if there was a way to guess what the next IP address would be. thanks again. _______________________________________________ /"\ ASCII Ribbon campaign against E-Mail \ / in gratuitous HTML and Microsoft X proprietary formats. / \ On Fri, 27 Jul 2001, Jonathan Chen wrote: Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 09:16:52 +1200 From: Jonathan Chen <jonathan.chen@itouch.co.nz> To: J <dude@shell.schulte.org> Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: DHCP client IP On Thu, Jul 26, 2001 at 02:15:30PM -0500, J wrote: > I've recently installed FreeBSD on one of the computers in my college's > lab.
