how do i find my IP address for the Starhub home point?

I want to connect via VNC from my workplace to home..

Thanks!

Very hard. But you should install a DDNS before you go out.

Cool! thx man.. will try it for sure!.. nice that there is a linux version.. sweeeeeeeet!

To add on to what hammie suggested: if your router supports it, you can also install a 3rd party firmware that does the updating of ip for you. What router are you using?

[Me109]

linksys wrt54g

didnt realise you could whack on 3rd party firmware.. sounds interesting

Model
S/N Prefix
Stable
White Russian

WRT54G v1.0
CDF0 or CDF1


WRT54G v1.1
CDF2 or CDF3 or CDF4


WRT54G v2
CGN10 (Canada)/CDF5


WRT54G v2.2
CDF7


WRT54G v3
CDF8


WRT54G v3.1 (AU?, DE, FR and UK)
CDF9


WRT54G v4
CDFA



only these versions support linux firmware. check your router's serial number to see if it matches any of those.

you can configure your WRT54G to do DDNS update for dyndns.org out of the box. jsut go to dyndns.org, get an account, open a dynamic DNS host.

then in your router admin go to the DDNS page and fill it up.

DD-WRT has micro builds that support v5 and v6 WRT54Gs, but due to very limited space and RAM their features are cut down... I think uPnP was only added in a recent beta for example.

Your stock firmware may support dyndns.org, as &d00 said. I'm using a WRT54G too, and got that feature in a firmware update.

stock linksys firmware supports dyndns.org.

Cool. now I'm starting to understand a little more about networking.. thx!

I got it all working.. managed to get a mate in australia to login and test.. all good.. .. Now I can remotely use linux on my PS3!

All except that my biggest hurdle is that they block every port at my workplace.. so I still can't access it from there..

cheers all the same!

[gratelemming]

Heh good that you got it working.

There are always ways around blocked ports, either by port redirection or VPN I guess.

[Me109]

yeah.. I would like to get around this problem if I can... I even tried a web based vnc viewer..

I'll have to do some more 'research' into redirection and VPN.. dunno how to do either!

Thanks!

The easiest way is to run VNC on port 80 no company would block port 80. if that won't work because of a smarter firewall try port 443
