Hi falko,

I found it. "eth0"

Now I have ddclient installed.

$ sudo /usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300 -syslog
No printout.

Where can I find the start/stop/restart scripts.

Besides how to test ddclient to check whether it works. TIA

They are in /etc/init.d.

Check the log files. Also, you can stop your internet connection and connect again and check if the IP address of your domain has been updated.

Hi falko,

Tks for your advice.

$ dpkg -l | grep ddclient

ii  ddclient                                         3.6.2-6ubuntu1              Update dynamic IP address at DynDNS.org

ddclient is running.

IP address was updated on DYNDNS.ORG server whenever this server reconnected. I have it confirmed on login DYNDNS.ORG website.

But failed to ping my domain.

$ sudo ping -c 3 satimis.homelinux.com

PING satimis.homelinux.com (58.152.161.53) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- satimis.homelinux.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2001ms

iptables has been stopped.

Please advise how fix this problem.

Might be your router's firewall that doesn't allow pings.

Hi falko,

I don't have router nor hardware firewall.

The server is directly connected to an ADSL modem with a CAT5 cable. The another end of the ADSL modem is connected to a telephone wall socket with a telephone cable. The ADSL modem is supplied by ISP and does not need any setup.

So you use your server for surfing the web? Or how do you use your internet connection with multiple systems?

[satimis]

Hi falko,

So you use your server for surfing the web?

No. Once this server has been full configured and running properly. I'll connect a workstation to this server. Internet surfing will be done on workstation.

Or how do you use your internet connection with multiple systems?

Sorry, I don't follow. Whether you meant how to make broadband connection to the workstation. I'll add another NIC on the server to do masqerading.

So your server will be the router.

What's the output of

iptables -L

?
