Title: Access key and Dynamic IP
Post by: envyc on October 30, 2010, 12:05:29 am

As I understand it, the Library Server access key provides a link back to my public ip address. As I have a dynamically assigned ip, does this mean that the linkage will become broken if my public ip changes?

The "Test connection to this server..." option relinks this but can only happen when I have access to my server machine. Is there already a mechanism that periodically polls and relinks automatically or is this a potential enhancement?

The server machine updates the access key with JRiver on program startup and then once a day after that.

If it turns out that once a day causes real world problems (we haven't had this reported yet), we'll figure out a way to decrease the time or make it configurable.
