TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. enable debugging and verbose messages.
$ ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet
``$ ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet``
2. Do you need to specify a proxy?
If so, just add a
proxy=your.isp.proxy
``proxy=your.isp.proxy``
to the ddclient.conf file.
3. Define the IP address of your router with fw=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in
/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf and then try
$ ddclient -daemon=0 -query
3. Define the IP address of your router with ``fw=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx`` in
``/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf`` and then try
``$ ddclient -daemon=0 -query``
to see if the router status web page can be understood.
4. Need support for another router/firewall?
Define the router status page yourself with:
fw=url-to-your-router's-status-page
fw-skip=any-string-preceding-your-IP-address
``fw=url-to-your-router``'s-status-page
``fw-skip=any-string-preceding-your-IP-address``
ddclient does something like this to provide builtin support for
common routers.
For example, the Linksys routers could have been added with:
fw=192.168.1.1/Status.htm
fw-skip=WAN.*?IP Address
