get the device to tell you that its IP has changed? I use a linux box behind an old DSL300 for the above that extracts the IP number from the interface connected to the DSL300 every 60 seconds. If its changed, this triggers an update to dyndns (via ezupdate), restarts the webserver, firewall, asterisk etc with the new IP and uploads a simple html file to my webspace on my ISP as a fallback. dyndns has proven very reliable for changing IP's - basicly "just works" - for ~4 years! I presume OpenWRT can run scripts to do something similar? BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
