One script does it all. I am reworking the script so that the host will not have to reboot. Should be ready later today. The only issue left is the email forwarder is down (CHIMPY::). I am setting up this end to become an email forwarder/Internet gateway. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Mark Wickens Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 8:20 AM To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] ROOSTA routing problem Steve Davidson has a few scripts which will detect an IP address change, reconfigure the link and reboot the system. Assuming the IP only changes 'once in a while' this is a fairly painless solution. Mark.

ROOSTA has a multinet connection to LEGATO (which I don't mind, but as Johnny said, isn't going to work). Okay, well STAR69 has Multinet on it but as for tunnelling between them I ain't got a clue, chief, and again I can't guarantee 100% uptime on the link if it is opened. So can you set up a multinet link to chrissie.homelinux.net (warning IP address may change ... though it doesn't do it very often and Steve Davidson can let you know when it does) and let me know your IP address and I'll set up a multinet link here. That should do. If it does down sometimes we'll just have to live with the consequences ;-) Chrissie Someone had "magic" to deal with changing adresses? Sure I can set up a link, and I'll suggest metric 5.. The VAXen with multinet is 192.108.200.211. -P
