[Dxspider-support] GB7VAX update

[Keith Maton]

Brian,

Your external IP appears to be 86.132.254.43.  If I telnet to 86.132.254.43 on port 7300 I can connect to your node successfully.   I found this by doing an rcmd to your node to see which nodes you were connecting to and then doing an rcmd to one of those nodes to see what your IP address is.

gb7vax.serveftp.com resolves to 86.152.75.236 which is wrong.

So as has been suggested, you need to update the IP address against your serveftp.com <http://serveftp.com/> address.  This is called dynamic DNS, you’ll have some software installed somewhere which should update this automatically, or it could be within your router.

Or you’ll have a login for whichever service provides your dynamic DNS, in which case, you need to log in and update your address manually.

But ideally, this should be done automatically so whenever your external address changes, gb7vax.serveftp.com gets updated without you needing to do anything.

Hope this helps.
