DHCP/DDNS Doesn't Work with Netgear Devices
Hi,
I've got a couple of different Netgear devices on my network. A couple of Print Servers, and a Wireless Access Point. None of these seem to work correctly with DHCP/DDNS. Here's the error I get when one of the Print Servers renews it's lease:
Mar 2 18:07:37 The-Tardis dhcpd: if IN A RAINBOW domain doesn't exist add 43200 IN A RAINBOW 192.168.0.41 add 43200 IN TXT RAINBOW "00ae82dfbe9eb18ce88e018bbd371de74d": timed out.
What's happened, is that the device name hasn't been made Fully Qualified. Here's a working example:
Feb 27 09:06:18 The-Tardis dhcpd: if IN A eddieath.BogoLinux.net domain doesn't exist add 43200 IN A eddieath.BogoLinux.net 192.168.0.49 add 43200 IN TXT eddieath.BogoLinux.net "31f655e98e1282b88a57b03f6871813602": success.
As there's no way I can change the firmware in the Print Server, how can I force either DHCPD or Named to add the Domain. I've tried the following In my dhcd.conf, but it didn't make any difference.:
ddns-domainname "BogoLinux.net";
So, any thoughts.
Also, the AP doesn't doesn't even make any attempt to update the DNS. How can I try and make this work as well.
Cheers,
Eddie
