Anyone here have experience with the "little black box" that ensures you get a static IP address? A local supplier (Cape Town) has just gotten his hands on one and I'm waiting my turn to test it. It's supposed work like a dream!?
Static IP hack

No little black box needed at all, visit www.dyndns.org
If you do not come right give me a call.
Dynamic DNS works, I have my web server running of dynamic dns, cost me nothing extra.[8D]
Better still - pay a bit more than telkom's modem and get a netgear dg814 adsl router. (www.netgear.com)
It includes a 4 port 100m/bit switch and adsl modem.
It allows transparent links to www.dyndns.org on connection - you will always have a "static" ip and host your own stuff. Contact me for more info.
Doesn't telkom block incoming connections?
Netgear dsl modem/router works well ...automatically updates the dynamic dns.
Subject: Telkom ADSL Router Utility: Daily Restart, Dynamic to Static IP Address Convertor, ADSL Usage Stats
Hi,
ADSL was recently launched in South Africa and we've been using it since January. Our ISP is Telkom and in their wisdom they decided that ADSL IP addresses needs to be reset every 24 hours meaning that you can't run a web server on it.
We've written a utility to solve that. From the Read Me file:
A. BEFORE YOU START
This utility works with the Telkom ADSL Router. It's labelled "ADSL Router Pots" and is a flat beige hub-sized unit. It's manufactured by Marconi. This utility has not been designed for the Alcatel ADSL modem or any other third party ADSL modems.
B. INTRODUCTION
Though the ADSL router can automatically dial up to the internet, Telkom resets the IP address every 24 hours. This requires one to manually restart the router or to connect to it via a web browser, log in and restart it.
This utility will automatically restart the router every 24 hours at the specified time.
The routers external IP address is determined and uploaded to a specified web site. Using the supplied Update.asp and Redirect.asp combined with a free ASP (Active Server Page) host such as 7Host.com your ADSL line effectively is changed from a dynamic IP address to a static IP address. Try the sample: http://free.7host01.com/adslrouter/Redirect.asp
For a short URL use tinyurl.com. Use http://tinyurl.com/dp5c for http://free.7host01.com/adslrouter/Redirect.asp
Your ADSL usage is retrieved from the Telkom ADSL Usage web site http://adsl.telkomsa.net.
C. INSTALLATION
Run the setupkit, Biometrics.co.za Telkom ADSL Router Restart.EXE, and select all the default prompts. After installation run the utility from the Start/Programs/Biometrics.co.za Telkom ADSL Router Restart menu. Enter your ADSL routers IP address, administrator user name and password. For ADSL usage data you also need to enter your Telkom ADSL user name and password.
Click the Update button and the utility will download and upload.
An Update happens every 10 minutes.

We are releasing it as shareware. Feel free to add it as a free utility on your web site. Our FTP server is ftp://ftp.biometrics.co.za and the file name is "Biometrics.co.za_Telkom_ADSL_Router_Restart.E XE". It's 3.60 MB.
Let us know what you think ...

Why do you need the ADSL Router username and password, even more risky, why do you need the Telkom username and password. I'm sorry I don't trust this. There are lots of ways to overcome the dynamic IP dilemma.

D-Link routers also allow for dyndns and no-ipWorks great, updates whenever there is an ip change without you even knowing...

Might want to update your firmware, i have D-Link DSL-G604T Current Firmware Version : V2.01B01T01.RU.20060320.how do u make it work in d-link routers? mine does not work
Smoothwall does it automatically - a compatible Ethernet router, an DynDNS.org account, and an old, working Pentium2 PC is all you'll need...
...and Bob's your uncle. No need to buy extra stuff, just that you sacrifice a PC...
...and Smoothwall can run a content filter to stop pr0n sites and virus downloads... not all routers can do that.
