Hello all, I have a DSL connection (Dynamic IP) that feeds my DLINK wireless router/firewall. I have my Freebsd box hardwired to the router and then I have a laptop and a windows box using wireless nics. Everything works great! Now I want to allow access to my web and ftp server on the Bsd box. I have my own domain name already and can use one of the dynamic dns hosting services. But how can I (automatically of course), update my dynamic dns? I am unsure how to pull the wan ip from the router. The router is passing all requests on port 80 to my bsd box. But I need to find out my wan ip to update the dns. I would like to maybe run a shell script or something get the wan ip and then update the dns. I have a script ot do the actual update, but any ideas on how to pull the wan ip? All I keep getting back is the lan ip (192.168.0.1) Any thoughts or ideas from anybody ? This wouldn't be so bad but it seems that the dynamic ip is changed at odd intervals and pretty often. So it makes it a real pain to keep up with it manually.
