Presentation

This module allows you to modify the configuration file of your dynamic domain name provider.

It’s in the network module, under the name « DDclient Dynamic DNS Provider ».

Why ?

Each time you connect to the Internet, your service provider gives you a dynamic IP adress, which is valid for your current connection and for a maximum of 24 hours. The module available here will allow you to get a fixed host name, despite using a dynamic IP adress. The host name is the name of your computer on the Internet. In a nutshell, you will thereby have a personalised fixed IP adress. This new adress will be permanent and will forward any communication onto your current dynamic IP adress, regardless of how it evolves. Therefore, you will not need to take IP adress problems into consideration when hosting a web or FTP server on your own PC.

Information on the structure of the config file

Some versions of the file apparently have bad page layout. This causes inappropriate visualisation with the graphic module. So to start with, it is strongly recommended to verify page layout using the file total reading module. 

Rules are as follows : 

The lign starting with "## abcd" is a commentary lign and cannot be modified. If this lign appaears after the declaration variable used by the module, then it will appear after the variable on the graphic screen. If it is at the beginning of the lign, then the commentary will no longer be displayed. The lign starting with "# abcd" is a neutralizeed declaration lign. It isn’t displayed on the graphic screen, but will appear, shoul the "#" at the start of the lign be taken away. If a modification of the input lign occurs, the "#" symbol disappears. Warning, any lign that isn’t part of of the variables declaration will be considered as the domain name. Besides, the last lign read in the file will be the one taken into account.
