Dynamic IP & Writing to the Webspace
-
Hi Guys, I'm trying to remote desktop onto my PC at home, however since I have ADSL and my ISP doesnt support static IP addresses, I end up having to check my IP address before I head into work. Problem is my line is pretty rubbish, and the connection gets dropped every 4-6 hours. So i get maybe 4-6 hours out of it, then no longer have access to my home desktop. Thinking on it, the easiest solution (Barring a Static IP) is to run a script that will automatically write my IP to my website (hosted externally). Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Solutionising is welcome? Thanks for your help, Grg

DynDns offers a free service that gives you a free subdomain hostname controlled by their client updater software; you simply install the software on your home PC, and it will automatically keep the IP address synced with the DynDns hostname.
