How to get NoIP working?

[guillaumesoucy]

Hi,

I try to setup my NoIP account in my FreeNAS box but the IP was not updated, why?

Thanks,

Guillaume

Such an open ended question...

Did you check the logs?

What IP do you expect to change?

 

[guillaumesoucy]

I expect to update my free NoIP host with my external ISP IP. But my free NoIP host was never updated to my external IP even if the credentials is setted correcly on my FreeNAS box.

 

[pirateghost]

So, again, did you check the logs?

 

[guillaumesoucy]

Oh sorry, I forget this part. I will check that when I return to my house tonight.

 

[guillaumesoucy]

Ok so, im at home now, I turn on the LCD monitor and nothing about the Dynamic DNS there... Need help please.

 

[pirateghost]

What does the LCD have to do with anything?

Ssh or use the web GUI terminal and watch the logs....

 

[guillaumesoucy]

Ok sorry for the misunderstanding.

How I will be able to see the server logs in the GUI terminal?

 

[pirateghost]

Well, all logs are in /var/log

tail -f /var/log/messages

You will want to do this in an ssh session rather than GUI terminal while making changes in the dynamic DNS section and restarting the dynamic DNS service

Or just cat /var/log/messages | grep dns

Got it!

Its full of errors but I really don't know what these errors mean.

Looks like your freenas doesn't have a name server set on it in the network configuration..

And your ftp is broken

 

[guillaumesoucy]

Oh shit!

I see the name server settings but what I should need to put in these field?

 

[pirateghost]

A name server so that your DNS can resolve queries.

Google DNS, router.

 

[guillaumesoucy]

Humm, interesting. Did you mean I need to put the Google's DNS servers like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ?

 

[guillaumesoucy]

Ohhhhhh! Thats works! Thanks a lot my friend!

 

[Darren Myers]

i was just about to reply yes enter 8.8.8.8 or any other google DNS

 

[guillaumesoucy]

Perfect! All works like a charm now!

PS: I just drink too much cofee, this is result the "Ohhhhhh"...

Have a great night to all!

I got another issue this morning, I had to shutdown FreeNAS and the ISP router and when all came back on, the new IP was not updated until I re-enter my No-IP password in Dynamic DNS in FreeNAS. This is mean each time FreeNAS reboot I need to enter my No-IP password?

Guys, I'm missing somewhere to set up access to no-ip.

- My router recognized the access. Also I left the FreeNAS IP outside the DHCP range and open all doors (DMZ);



- On the no-ip page the configuration is as DNS Host (A);


- In Services section I used my username/password and domain as you can see below;


- The network configurations are these:



Also in /var/logs I have

Code:

Why are you trying to have ddns running on your router and your nas. You don't need both.
