Title: Updating my server IP info
Post by: petrossa on January 19, 2012, 05:02:51 am
What is the fastest way to update the my server IP address on your Gizmo server? Frequently i try to connect and it still has an old IP address behind the key. After which it tries to connect to my router which obviously doen't work.

In MC, options->Media Network->Access Key->Test Connection to this Server will force an update.
The Automatic update interval will be getting shorter soon...

Ok. Tnx Bob. I use a tunnel to access the net. So i get another IP regularly. And it's a person if you go and discover you forgot to exit/restart MC when you try to use Gizmo.... Ever tried to remote control your pc from a smartphone? By the time you managed to reset MC fiddling with it you seriously lost interest  ;D

In recent versions, MC17 should now update the IP once per hour, maybe that'll make your life easier. :)
Surely did for me.

Great. Tnx. That'll be good enough. It doesn't change IP that fast. Pity though that Gizmo's latest update holds the old IP in memory. Maybe adding a toggle to Gizmo to opt out of that?

In any case i guess i'll write a little app that pushes the Test connection button in Mediacenter for me, icon on desktop and i can easily reset it from my mobile i remote access.
