Long term computer user and device programmer but new to Linus. Could not get my new B3 to work as I wanted  and found the cure to my problems with help from Johannes Book. Found solution to make NOIP work.(unsupported by excito). Would like to update the wiki page with details of how to get NOIP to work with B3.

Thanks a lot for this explanation. If you would like, you are very welcome to edit/comment the howto yourself on the wiki. Just apply for an account and I'll approve you right away. Most of the entries there are user contributed, and this is always the best since guides tend to get better if written by people who actually use whatever the guide is about every day.

NO-IP and NO-IP2

First Debian.Org have updated no-ip (due to I believe security issues) to noip2.
Second Excito do not support noip2 so that it is not available in elvin.

The Excito wiki How to install a NO-IP Client needs modifying to reflect the situation.
First thing is to add the source.
In my case I used nano to update the sources list

1. change user to root
2 nano  /etc/apt/sources.list

Add in the Debian distribution

3. deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian lenny main

The ftp site should be changed to reflect the local mirror site. I believe main could be replaced with a more limited case to only get network or noip itself but I do not know currently how to do that.

After editing the sources file and saving it tell the package manager to update it

4.apt-get update

Then install noip2

5. apt-get install noip2

Then configure the account information as per how to.

For a server the interface is I believe eth1 for wan use eth0

Check configuration

6. noip2 -S
