    Re: It's possible to prevent internet ip change?

    If you have dynamic IP then something like no-ip is all you can do. It is not strictly necessary to have the no-ip client installed on the centos machine though.

    All the client process does is tell the no-ip servers which IP to direct your hostname to and all of your lan machines (real and vmware ones) have the same wan ip so any of them can run the client bit. Just install it on the windows machine.

    As long as your no-ip is resolving to your wan ip and you have your ports properly forwarded (assuming you use a router) then that is all you need.

    Router model won't help a shit!

    For a static IP, you need to contact your provider.

    edit your internal.txt and replace your ip with the no-ip address.

    exp : 111.222.333.444 to www.no-ip.com.

    simple as that.

    Might want to try posting at least SOME information. I am getting very bored of people expecting help when they won't give you a single shred of info to work with. We are not mind readers and if you can't be bothered to post something that might give us a clue why your hamachi doesn't work then just accept the fact that it doesn't and find somebody else's server to play on.

    Re: It's possible to prevent internet ip change?

    i understand his case.

    for static ips, there is no problem, but for dynamic ips, there is.

    because the worldsvr ip & client chatnode ip uses the WAN ip.

    and sometimes dynamic ips can be unpredictable and sometimes they change quite often

    even without you touching anything.

    the moment the wan ip changes, the ip in the worldsvr config will be out of synch and

    at that very moment, users attempting to connect to channels fail.

    yes we can use no ip for the client internal.txt, and yes we can set it to autoupdate whenever

    windows ip changes so that the user can always connect to centos.

    however the worldsvr (channels) config needs to be manually updated, painfully as this setup would

    now require you to always check on your system from time to time for ip changes.

    2 things can be done.

    1) switch back to static ip (more expensive plan than dynamic ip)

    2) someone must code something where the ip & chatnode client ip line reads & updates based on the current windows ip

    - ive tried a lot of combinations, resolve hosts, but so far the worldsvr config only reads numeric ip, which means you cant set a no-ip hostname in place because users wont be able to connect that way.

    any solution to this would finally pull the thorn out of admins with dynamic ips.

    Re: It's possible to prevent internet ip change?

    I had exactly the same problems when i tried testing no-ip.

    It is possible to add a script that runs via cron on the server and checks the wan ip every minute and updates the config. It would actually be really easy to write and the code for finding the wan ip from a bash script is already in my cabal_config.sh.

    The thing i am not sure about is whether a "service cabal reload" reloads the server ip config. I know a reload does not reload every setting and i suspect the ip config is one it doesn't.

    The other method i can think of (which would probably be better thinking about it) is to add an ip check into the service startup function so whenever the service is started/rebooted it changes if it needs to before startup.

    I'll give this one some more thought as i think i can do something here. I will need somebody that has a dynamic IP to test though as i have static ips and testing this would't be easy for me. If anyone wants to test then drop me a PM and i'll start writing the script.

    actually it should be able to considering that when ever i run the config file it detects my ip . i not once ever added my external ip to anything but when i installed it ran config it automatically detected it.

    Re: It's possible to prevent internet ip change?

    Yes my script will try to find the right values for you, i pretty much made the script to do what i would do in the environment it finds.

    The trouble with that method is that you have to reconfig the server every time the ip changes which isn't that convenient. What i mean is i can adapt what the config script does so it can auto detect each time the service start without having to completely reconfig.
