General discussion forum / Re: DynDNS Update Stopped Working with 2.26

« on: 2010-11-06, 21:01:45 »

On the "Status" page, next to last is "DYNDNS status".
It said error until I deactivated and reactivated it, now
it says "OK" as it should (and I double checked the DynDNS
web site to make sure it updated).

Yes, there are several, but dyndns.com is the largest one.

I have a paid account and have several host names. At my
remote QTH, I have different ones on four devices, since my
router sometimes does not update. This allows me to have
fallback host names in case I can't reach my station.

Anyway, I just deactivated it in the RRC-1258 and then
reactivated it again, now it finally updated. If anyone was
using dyndns before 2.26, they need to apparently do this
in order to make it work again.

Thanks & 73,

Which service are you using? Maybe the problem is
specific to dyndns.com? I tried reentering my information,
even though it was still there, with no change.

After having some "Murphy" problems doing RemoteRig demos, I also
decided to order a WLAN bridge. I found something that is very small
and even can be powered by the PC's USB port: The Netgear WNCE2001

General discussion forum / DynDNS Update Stopped Working with 2.26

« on: 2010-11-05, 18:19:26 »

Although I find 2.26 to be stable and a good improvement, I noticed that
the DynDNS update no longer works, and returns an error message. I
use the RemoteRig as a backup to my router's DynDNS with a different
address, so it is not mission critical, which is why I just now noticed the
problem.

In checking my log on DynDNS.com, it indicates my last update took place
the evening of Oct. 28th, which is when I installed 2.26.

I am still waiting for HRO to confirm receipt of the heads.
They were supposed to be delivered last week.

Stay tuned!

« on: 2010-10-20, 23:03:15 »

I haven't had a problem at all with audio, or any other functionality
with RemoteRig for that matter.

My stability issue is purely related to accessing the HTML page to
make configuration changes.

Jan,

I have tried to access the web page the last two days, and each time it was not reachable.
The remote RRC has always connected without a problem, so this is specifically something
in the web server itself that was changed in 2.21.

I thought it was related to dyndns, so I forced a new IP number, but that was not the problem
after all. I am not sure how I can figure out what is causing this problem. There is always the
possibility that it may still be a dyndns problem that does not occur every time.

Hi Jan,

I don't have a reason to access the web page too often, so therefore
it is difficult to pinpoint when this problem occurs. If no one else can
help, the I can start accessing on a regular basis to try to figure out
when the problem occurs.

I have noticed that the web page was not available a couple of times,
although a connect from the remote side was still possible. It required
a power restart to fix.

Once a dyndns update also crashed the box and required a power restart.
There are apparently some minor stability issues with this version.

Matt,

There is no problem to change the port on the RemoteRig. Over here,
many routers have port 5060 already blocked for internal VoIP (even
if you don't use it), so you MUST change it to something else. I have
to admit that I am not aware of any DSL/cable providers blocking ports
like I hear from the U.S. The exception is UMTS (3G), where the providers
do not want you using VoIP.

Johan,

Lantronix is considered the "gold standard". If you really want to be on the safe side,
I would order one of their products (expensive, but often good deals on Ebay).

Larry, N8LP, highly recommends these as well, and has had them in use for several
years. Looks at his web site for details: http://www.telepostinc.com/network.html

He also has several software and hardware devices that may interest the group.
A summary is at http://www.telepostinc.com/softctl.html

Ken,

You can (should) set an ID and password for the remote RRC.

If someone figures out your IP address and port, the most they
can do is to view your status. As soon as you click on one of the
lower menu items, it asks for your ID and password.

Of course you should change the RRC port from 80 to another port,
just as you did on your power switch
