Re: SOLVED - Getting a Dinamic Remote IP
You won't believe. I don't remember if I deleted the line w/ customer
(I'm typing from my work computer) but I see that in a example of a
ddclient.conf I found at the internet.
Anyway...
I changed my password. It was composed by spaces like the following format:
password: abcd efgh igkl
and I've changed for a simple new one
password: wxyz
....and worked!
I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. The fact is w/ the first format
dyndns couldn't authenticate my username. But using the second format,
the debug message changed for "SUCESS", nslook worked nicely and a
friend could ping my box from outside (i mean, from the public
internet) and return my ip address. :)
Thanks community!!! :D
