Networking :: Setting Up DDClient For OpenDNS?
Apr 15, 2010
I've started using OpenDNS on my network, the problem is, my router gets an dynamic IP, which means I have to regularly update the OpenDNS settings.
DDClient apparently supports OpenDNS, but the Ubuntu package for it asks for various details I don't know, and can't find. I'd rather not have to boot up a Windows computer just for this.
So I've got two questions, I guess - first is, are any of the Windows clients known to work under Wine (that can retrieve the IP from the router and forward it), and the second being, how exactly do you set up DDClient to use OpenDNS?

setup OpenDNS on natty. I've gone through the OpenDNS forums, and the ddclient.conf files I found there, when used, don't work.

I find a ddclient user entry in my /etc/passwd. Is this normal or have I been compromised?

So I'm going to try out opendns as an internet filter. But I'm not doing it on a network/router, just on my local machine. Using ubuntu, I read that I need to select each connection and change the dns settings.Is there a way to generically add the dns settings so that if I connect to a new network I don't have to manually update it's settings?

I am trying to block unappropriated sites on my ubuntu 11.04 with openDNS I installed it and in addithion to the catagoriegs I checked I also added some sites to the always block list, everything according to the site should work. But the problem is that nothing is blocked (also the sites in the always block list). I cleared the browsers cache but it didn't help when i try to clear the local cache with the provided command in their site I think it says it ignored my network.
About firefox,I want to block images only on facebook automatically so I added [URL] to the always block list in the images category and it should work but it just won't block the images. I should note that I use the same method on chrome and there it work like a charm. how to get that working on firefox?

I am having trouble setting up FamilyShield on an Ubuntu 8.04 system. The setup instructions on this (opendns.com) site are for newer versions of Ubuntu. Network Manager settings are different in 8.04 and don't correspond to the instructions. However, given the age of this computer, it cannot run a newer version of Ubuntu, and 8.04 is an LTS supported until 2011,
Complicating matters is I am living as a guest, so do not have the option of setting FamilyShield on the router. It must be done on my computer.
Here's what I've tried:
System->Administration->Network
go to DNS Tab and add the FamilyShield DNS numbers. BTW, there are two DNS numbers from the internet owner's ISP (Roadrunner) automatically in here already, along with "socal.rr.com" in the Search Domains field. If I try to delete them, they reappear when I reboot. If I add FamilyShield DNS numbers here, either along with, or in place of the ones that automatically appear here, they do not take, and on next boot FamilyShield DNS numbers are gone, but "socal.rr.com" DNS and search domains reappear.
I've also tried:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.com
and added following line at the end:
Code:
prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.123,208.67.220.123
When I reboot the system, I'm still using the assigned DNS numbers from "socal.rr.com".
I was able to try a newer version of Ubuntu (on a different machine) on this network, and it worked fine with the setup instructions. So this appears to be a problem specific to how Ubuntu version 8.04 handles DNS number changes.

I have an odd thing going on with DNS. I have two machine's running Ubuntu and for some reason they do not always resolved internet addresses on my Internet connection. This has gone on since the Ubuntu 8.04 when I first started using Ubuntu. Anyway, I use OpenDNS' DNS servers and I have been running perfectly.
This is what is odd. My Windows XP Machine never has the problem. It always resolves. Does Windows Possibly have some Microsoft hosted DNS server hard coded in there as a backup? Things are working fine this way so I am not looking to change. I am just a little puzzled and finally got around to asking, "Why is this".

In the past I've used ddclient to update my zoneedit dynamic dns. Unfortunately, this seems to be broken at the moment. I've submitted a separate thread related to that problem.
What other alternatives are there to ddclient? I'm particularly interested in something that works with zoneedit.com. I'm aware of:
inadyn
inadyn-mt
Inadyn is available in ubuntu. So far I have not gotten it to work but I have not tried too hard yet either.

When I run ddclient with an existing ddclient.cache file I get errors saying "uninitialized value" and the remote IP address does not get updated. This pretty much renders ddclient useless. If I delete the cache file then things work fine and the IP address *does* get updated (if need be). I happen to be running version 3.7.3 of ddclient but I've tried this with ddclient 3.8.0 and the result is exactly the same except that the line number in the error changes to line 2030.
Here's the code at that line number :
Code:
if ($config{$host}{'login'} eq '') {
warning("null login name specified for host %s.", $host);
I'm running ubuntu ( 9.04 I think ) and using zoneedit.com for dynamic dns.
Here's a transcript showing the problem.
root@ruby:/var/cache/ddclient# ddclient

Anyway, my internet has been working fine until recently (last week or so). For most sites, Firefox will load the page quickly. However, every once in a while, but frequently enough to annoying, it will say "loading" for 10 seconds, then direct me to OpenDNS, which says the page cannot load. When I try it again, I get the same problem. Other sites are fine.
Then, when I quit Firefox and restart it, that site will work fine, but soon enough, another site stops loading properly.
For example, Google will work fine for awhile, then I'll get the error, but after restarting, Google will be fine again, but now Wikipedia, which loaded before, gets the error. And the cycle continues on yet another website...
I haven't changed any Internet or network settings recently. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.

I have installed ddclient for use with dyndns.org.
I can manually run it from the prompt with /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient start
and can verify that it works by checking that my IP has succesfully been changed at dyndns.
When I reboot though, during the startup, I get the following:
Starting ddclient: /bin/bash: ddclient: command not found [FAILED]
I am very new to Linux, so I am not sure what or where I should be looking to solve the problem. It seems to me that it must be looking in the wrong spot for ddclient, but I don't know what to check or change to point it at the right place.

Currently I have 2 Arch Linux boxes, one upstairs, one downstairs. Well, The router is downstairs, and my office is upstairs. My windows laptop is hooked up wireless, and one of my linux machines is upstairs, so I can't exactly connect it to the router. Now I know how to setup a bridge in windows to allow access to internet from other windows machines, my 360, etc, but How do you exactly do it in Linux, something i've never tried doing before.

As shown in the image,our lab get the connection from the 'Green-line'.Other network has the IPs 192.168.2.XXX and in our LAN we were given 192.168.1.XXX range. We use Debian server with DNS/DHCP for MAC->IP assignment and name resolution. We can connect to the internet without any problem. My problem is: We can connect (SSH,ping) to the machines with 192.168.2.XXX IPs ,but from that hosts its not possible to connect to our LAN.

i am trying to use a local DNS service (unbound), and for that, i want each connection (eth0, wlan0) to first use localhost as DNS (127.0.0.1) and then try the DNSs it gets from the DHCP. this is a laptop so it is not just setting it for a single connection but a system default.
i looked and searched and there does not seem to be a straightforward way of doing it. i am usign gnome with networkmanager, and setting the method as "get IP only" is not suitable, as it omits the DHCP-provided DNSs, and also cannot be set as the default method.

I have been looking and trying to set up DNS on my home setup just for kicks and giggles. I know it is supposed to make resolving web pages faster and I am working in a job where I do networking stuff all the time everything I can learn about networking the better. I know HOW DNS works but I have problems finding a How-to for what I want. I would like to state that my knowledge of Linux is very minimal but I have seen what it can do and want to learn how to use it effectively.
I have a FC10 box acting as a gateway (with DHCP for all systems at home), firewall and windows file server (Samba). I have a comcast modem which leads to the gateway and from there to my other systems.
My coworker helped set it up so I didn't really learn much from it but I have some very basiv skills.What I want to do is enable my server to handle what my ISP provides with DNS, I am NOT looking to host webpages, just the query and storage of the IPs for webpages for faster resolving. Every help and how to I have looked at just talks about setting up DNS for a page to host. I installed BIND already and I would like to configure it to deal with this. Any and all help is appreciated, even links to a How-to that pertains to me would be helpful as I am having no luck with that at the moment.

Somebody gave me an old Celeron 333MHz system w/ 96 MB RAM and I thought I would set it up as a little torrent server. So I installed Ubuntu server on it, but it does not see the NIC. I know the NIC functions because the person was using it hooked up to a network until a few days ago. Unfortunately, it's an ISA-based NIC and not PCI and my understanding is that I have to pass it IRQ and DMA settings to get it to work. Unfortunately, I wiped the windows 98 partition without thinking of snagging those settings. First of all, lspci does not show the hardware AT ALL. Here's the output I get:
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440LX/EX - 82443LX/EX Host bridge (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440LX/EX - 82443LX/EX AGP bridge (rev 03)
00:04.0 USB Controller: OPTi Inc. 82C861 (rev 10)

The machine is an old 'Compaq Presario 5050' with a really crappy BIOS that doesn't really offer any help. I read a post somewhere that trying to load the 'ne' driver should work, so I tried:
sudo modprobe ne
and it came back saying "no such device".

I want to do is make an old computer of mine that I use for web development be accessible to anyone within my LAN only.
so in a nutshell i don't want the world wide web to be able to access this server since I use it for development work only and i do most of my actual development work on another system since most of the applications i use requires windows.
I know you can block incoming traffic to all IPs or add individual IPs to allow in, but how can i make the firewall only accept incoming traffic from those within my LAN network?
if you wish to know what I'm using to configure my firewall, I'm using firestarter on this server
