IP address stability Sometimes my session drops out of ultra-peer mode due to an apparent lack of "IP address stability". What precisely does that mean? |
It means your IP address seems to change more often than every 3 hours. How often does your IP address change? |
I'm currently at my second IP address in 6 years time, rock stable since may 2005. My link has been up for 76 days now (when I installed the modem)... |
What version do you use anyway? |
0.96.1 |
And how often do you see this happening? In any case, if your IP address is stable and/or you always want to use ultrapeer mode, you can enforce both settings to be certain. |
I just noticed it happening a couple of times. I can't give hard figures. OTOH, it really doesn't bother me since, as you also pointed out, I can always enfore ultrapear mode. |
i have a similar problem can dynamic dns help with this (sorry for bad english :) ) |
What do you mean with "similar" problem? Do you mean you have the same problem? Otherwise, please describe the exact problem you have. You can configure Gtk-Gnutella so that it announces a hostname (e.g., example.dyndns.invalid) instead of just its IP address. You can also enforce a certain IP address if Gtk-Gnutella guesses a wrong one. You can also enforce ultrapeer mode. If you have a dynamic IP address but want to enforce it nonetheless, you'll have to update the setting whenever your IP address changes. Let's say you have a script /etc/ppp/ip-up which is executed by root whenever your IP address changes. You could then use this script to update the forced IP address: IP_ADDRESS=$4 # The IP address is passed as second parameter su - gtkg-user -c "(echo HELO; echo set forced_local_ip $IP_ADDRESS; echo set force_local_ip TRUE; ) | gtk-gnutella --shell" Note that this requires Gtk-Gnutella from SVN. Otherwise you'd have to use netcat to access the remote shell (which has to be enabled as well). |
I'm still very curious why gtk-gnutella thinks my IP address changes. |
