What utility to post my gateway's IP?
I am using a D-Link router as the gateway between my cable modem and
my home network. If I want to remotely access my Woody computer, I
need to know the address assigned the gateway by the ISP's DHCP
server. I could then configure an open port in the gateway router so
I could access the server.
Long ago, when I was using SLIP and PPP dialup, I used a Windoze
utility to post the IP on a server using FTP. I could then look at
this file on the server to see what the current IP was, thus accessing
my home computer remotely.
How does one do this using Debian? I gather I would invoke a process
from cron, but what utility does this?
