[Linux] Journal.

My officemates and I finally signed up with dynamic DNS to point to our local network addresses so we can exchange files without asking for each other’s IP all the times.

They signed up with DynDNS for an account and I used my existing account with No-IP to add an additional host for my laptop.

To set up the client to use the internal network address when updating the domain name we need to configure noip2 to turn NAT off. First install the client software from no-ip, then configure the client by running:

$ noip2 -F -C
     and follow the instructions
$ cp debian.noip2.sh /etc/init.d/noip2
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/noip2 /etc/rc2.d/S50noip2
     to enable noip2 at startup

To check the status of noip run noip2 -S.
