If you find Excito's Easyfind service or DynDNS (see Tutorials and How-tos/Install a DynDNS Client) not being enough for you, you might want to use No-IP http://www.no-ip.com.

To use No-IP, you have to first create an account at: http://www.no-ip.com/getting_started.php and the following guide allows you to enable your Bubba to tell No-IP when its IP address changes.


  1. Access your bubba via SSH (see Howto/Access Server via SSH for information how to accomplish this)
    Change to the user root:
    su
    (By default: When asked for password, type excito and press enter)
  2. Install the application:
    apt-get install no-ip
  3. Configure the client using the responses you setup when configuring your No-IP account: 
    - Your account Name: (Example: bubba@excito.com)
    - Your password
    - The right interface to choose from the list is 'eth0'
    /usr/bin/no-ip -C    

  Auto configuration for Linux client of no-ip.com.   Multiple network devices have been detected.   Please select the Internet interface from this list.   By typing the number associated with it. 0 eth0 1 br0

  Please enter the login/email string for no-ip.com : bubba@excito.com   Please enter the password for user 'bubba@excito.com' ******

  1. Check you have configured the software correctly:
    /usr/bin/no-ip -S

  1 no-ip process active.   Process 2922, started as no-ip   Using configuration from /etc/no-ip.conf   Last IP Address set 0.0.0.0   Account bubba@excito.com   configured for: host bubba.zapto.org   Updating every 30 minutes via /dev/eth1 with NAT enabled.

  1. Restart the client program:
    /etc/init.d/no-ip restart


Thats all!
