[HOWTO] Eircom Netopia and DYNDNS.org

By Simon prosser | 18th August 2009 |

I just learned these routers have a hidden option for updating your dyndns account automatically!

You have to us telnet commands to activate it…

Open Telnet and open 192.168.1.254 (default router address)

Now use these commands to setup dyndns:

>configure
>set dynamic-dns option dyndns.org
>set dynamic-dns ddns-host-name myhostname.dyndns.org
>set dynamic-dns ddns-user-name myusername
>set dynamic-dns ddns-user-password myuserpassword
>save
>quit

Restart your router…wait about 2 mins then check the logs for this:

00:00:00:43 TR-069: ACS URL resolved
00:00:00:43 TR-069: Resolving ACS URL - Retry 0
00:00:00:41 DDNS: Hostname updated. good
00:00:00:37 NTP: Update system date & time
00:00:00:37 Daylight Saving Time enabled
00:00:00:32 DDNS: initializing service
00:00:00:32 ipcp: negotiated TCP hdr commpression off

Enjoy!

    This worked a treat, even on the older Netopia routers [3347NWG, Green/Navy, Single Aerial]. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    Make sure you set the dns address in your dyndns.org account first, then configure and restart.
