First of all hello to all of you, I'm new here, as watching this mailing list only for couple months now. Unfortunately I couldn't come for any of PLUG meetings to date and will not be able to come for next few months as my partner expects our first baby :) (which will keep me busy for some time).
I've question which you probably will be able to answer... There are two machines in Poland, they are running Ubuntu 10.04. They are connected over ADSL with dynamic IP, each time when I need gain access to SSH or VNC I must ask someone to give me a current IP address. You can probably imagine how annoying it is. I don't want to use services like DDNS and I'm looking for other solution. And there is my question... How can I force remote machine to send a message with it's IP to my computer, let say twice every day. I was considering connection (on specific port) which will bounce from my VM Hubs firewall... I do not need a log file on my machine... any solutions is much appreciated My system is Linux Mint 10 (Gnome), connected to a virgin media cable (VM Hub) Best Regards Bartosz Dubiel PS. my apologies for poor English but eventually I'll get better :) _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list Peterboro@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
