Re: Verizon DSL Line Monitors - Free

Thanks,

So you need to "seed" the tool with your public IP address first? and then it should track any changes?

I put my dyndns address in earlier today and left the static IP box empty. After 4 hours it had not updated.

This is the problem I saw earlier: when my public IP changed, the site tool did not pick up the new one.

I just manually seeded the IP address box, will wait for the monitor to start tracing and will force an IP address change to see what happens.

It is tracking now, waiting for an address change......

BTW...The Dyndns seems to be working because if I ping it, my real public IP is resolved.

I don't use Dyndns or DeeEnEs so I'm not sure.

I have pointed someone who might be able to help to you.

I know that I shut down my monitor just before the move and after the move I had a heck of a time getting a new monitor to start populating but it finally did so earlier this week.

Yes. You should put your current IP in the static box, check the dynamic box, and put your dyndns hostname in the 'IP from this DNS' box.

Could the tool be broken again?

I manually entered my IP and dyndns host name, saw it was recording, and forced an IP change. 4 hours later it has not updated. Tag is: basic #252162

Tim, can you update when this gets sorted out so others will know?

Sure. Always try to circle back when things are fixed to add to the hive's body of knowledge.

Apparently the updater wasn't running, but is now (as of about 6 hours ago).
