Prerequisites
To complete this guide, the following is assumed:
| You are running Oleg's firmware (1.9.2.7-6b or later) |
| You have harddisk partitions up and running with an extended filesystem mounted to /opt |
| You have installed the Ipkg package system. |
| You have configured your partitions to automount. |
Install
First we need to install the noip2 package.
ipkg install noip
This installs noip2 to the directory /opt/sbin/
Get an account
Now we need to go to www.no-ip.com and set up a free account. Once you have set it up and everything is running. Procede to the next step of this guide.
Configuration
Go to the noip2 directory
cd /opt/bin
Open the configuration wizard
./noip2 -C email adress (your email address) password (your password)
the wizard will now connect and list your hosting accounts, you should only have one and it will choose this one by default. It will now prompt you for the update interval (minutes).
15 (this is entirely up to you)
If you want somthing to run after update, you can also configure this, I however choose the no option. We need to point the noip2 binary to this new config file.
killall noip2 /opt/bin/noip2 -c /opt/etc/no-ip2.conf
Thats it, now just run the noip2 binary so that it updates the no-ip name servers
noip2
Now, when you want to run ftp, instead of ftp://youripaddress , you can use ftp://yournoip2domainname. Have fun
