Hi All,
I have a linksys router that is acting as a dhcp server. The last
firmware upgrade has change the lease time options to allow a lease to
expire between 1-99999 minutes. Occasionally one of my boxes gets
assigned a different IP address which invalidates the port forwarding
rules. I would prefer to use static IP's but I am depending on my isp
(verizon dsl) provider for their dns servers and they serve me with a
dynamic address which changes reqularly.
My initial thought is to write a script that checks the IP of my box and
if it has changed, use links to update the port forwarding rules on the
router by sending the appropriate URL to the router. Any other
solutions, workarounds, hints or feedback are welcome.
thanks,
Mike
