WRT54G DynDns Fix

I think I've fixed the problem with my DynDns name expiring.  I enabled telnet on my WRT54G and then telneted in and used "vi" to create /etc/cron.d/dyndns containing:

3 4 5 * * root /usr/sbin/ez-ipupdate --service-type=dyndns --user=username:password --host=hostname.homedns.org  --interface=eth1

This should mean that the DynDns name will be updated at 04:03 on the 5th of each month.

I decided to update only once per month as the DynDns terms and conditions state only every 28-35 days.  We'll see if it works...

Linksys WRT54G Firmware

For some time now I've been running "hacked" firmware on my Linksys WRT54G wireless broad band router.  The hacked firmware has many advantages such as increased power output, support for VPN and much enhanced port forwarding.  The one thing that was missing was being able to update my dyndns name if the ip address did not change for 35 days.  You can get the firmware from here:
