Created a dyndns account on DynDns.org to allow me..

Created a dyndns account on DynDns.org to allow me to wake pc up over the internet, despite having a dynamic IP. Dyndns is free and allows domain names to be mapped to dynamic ips. The DE624 router is supposed to be able to tell dyndns whenever the IP address changes but the router seems to reboot whenever I try to set it. I suspect a firmware problem. 3 possible workarounds

  • wait for firmware upgrade

  • get pc to turn on and run a pc based dyndns update

  • figure a way to get old Orico router to handle it.

Orico would have to sit between the cable modem and the dlink. Could be temporary till dlink start SVTing their firmware.

Woo Hoo my NIC/Motherboard combo support wakeup on..

Woo Hoo my NIC/Motherboard combo support wakeup on lan. I can turn it on from the laptop from anywhere in the house.

I had to:

  • plug in the WOL cable that came with the DFE538TX

  • enable WOL in the BIOS

  • install dlink drivers

  • set advanced options to use APM

  • stop windows controlling NIC power

Using AMD magic packet software to turn it on.

Fixed a few things on the site:

Fixed a few things on the site:

  • set main file to default.html using advanced settings under publish

  • added next and prev buttons. Not too complex

  • added 'about me?' and a faq

The 'history' page keeps appearing in the buttons on the left. It is a wrapper for the archive entries and does not work as a button. There is a dialog in NetObjects tc control this but I can't find it.
