Great Script.
I also use no-ip (www.no-ip.com). Any chance of updating this to do no-ip updates as well?

[humphreysr]

OK I will work on No-IP.com support. I can not find update specifications on their web site. I have some source code of another updater so I can use that. If anyone has a link to no-ip.com's official policies on how an update should work, let me know

I am also going to work on the ability to update more then one domain type with DynDNS (because I need that to work)

I am getting a script error in line 563..
5/25/2003 2:07:04 PM~!~Error~!~Script error in file: UpdateDynDns.txt: 1006:Expected ')' in line 563
Shouldnt the below code
'Check for Private Address Space
If CInt ( IPArray ( 0 ) = 10 Then IPOK = False
If CInt ( IPArray ( 0 ) = 192 And ( CInt ( IPArray ( 1 ) > 15 and CInt ( IPArray ( 1 ) < 32 ) Then IPOK = False
If CInt ( IPArray ( 0 ) = 192 And CInt ( IPArray ( 1 ) = 168 Then IPOK = False

'Check for Multicast Address Space
If CInt ( IPArray ( 0 ) > 223 And CInt ( IPArray ( 0 ) < 240 Then IPOK = False

have an extra ) in it?
ie. If CInt ( IPArray ( 0 ))......

ok i fixed it and posted Version 2.1

sorry. That part was a last minute change and I never ran it Before I posted it. (that'll teach me!)

Cool, It works like a champ.

I think I might have found a bug...
I am only updating a no-ip address.
Everytime it runs I get a message.

5/25/2003 8:36:59 PM~!~UpdateDynDNS~!~Forcing 28 day update

lastupdate in the ini file is never changed. Even though the no-ip change is successfull.

I looked at the code and it looks like it only updates lastupdate when a successfull dyndns update is performed.

[humphreysr]

Thanks a lot for finding that one! I was never updating the last update time when using only no-ip. I fixed it.

***If you are using only No-ip.com update to this version asap***

I do not know if I am happy with the way I am doing the last update time tracking. I only have a single time and I update it if I update any service. This should not be a problem unless somehow I update one and the other fails (on the 28th day). I will have to think about that one...

How often does this script check for changes? Thanks for adding no-ip.com support.

The script will check for IP change every time its run as long as its 10 minutes between runs. I use DynDNS.org to check the current IP address (even if you are using only no-ip.com). Their policy states that you are only allowed to check every 10 minutes so I built that into the script.

It looks like No-IP.com changed the way I was doing updates. I have fixed it and uploaded the new version. Thanks for pointing that out!

Script seems to be working, but sometimes I get this error:

~Error~!~Script error in file: UpdateDynDns.txt: 5:Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Mid' in line 253

Any ideas?

Thanks
