Hello, I just discovered this amazing work around for cloud saves on your blog, but I keep getting a “Cannot create a file when that file already exists” problem and it is frustrating me. If you still check this blog, which I hope you do! Please e-mail me if you know how to fix this. Thank You

Any version should work. There are no premium/pro/ultimate features used in this setup.

Which version of Windows 7 (Home Premium, Pro, Ultimate) would you recommend for this?

Comment on Using IPTables with Dynamic IP hostnames like dyndns.org by diginc

Nice work.

What flavor of linux are you running? If you didn’t have an iptables init.d script, that might have been the problem. does /etc/init.d/iptables exist?
I see you’ve already come up with a work around though – I went ahead and edited the articles to add a note about the iptables reload command being Red Hat based and needing to probably be modified for other system types.

Thanks! I have user access control disabled on my systems so I totally forgot that could be an issue.

Just a note that users should make sure that you run the command prompt as Administrator if not logged in as the administrator, otherwise it will not allow the creation of the symbolic link. Once I got the link path right though, this worked like a charm. Thanks.

“Log on to incoming mail server before sending mail” fixed it for me, too. Using Microsoft Office Home & Business 2010 (32-bit) on Windows 7 (64 bit). Thank you, Diginc.

So I couldn’t get the dns name in the IP tables to work so I took your idea and wrtoe a bash script that looks up the host name adds it to the iptables and if the IP changes removes the old rule and adds a new one for the new ip.

#!/bin/bash #allow a dyndns name


HOSTNAME=HOST_NAME_HERE

LOGFILE=LOGFILE_NAME_HERE
Current_IP=$(host $HOSTNAME | cut -f4 -d' ')
	if [ $LOGFILE = "" ] ; then

iptables -I INPUT -i eth1 -s $Current_IP -j ACCEPT

echo $Current_IP > $LOGFILE

	else
Old_IP=$(cat $LOGFILE)

if [ "$Current_IP" = "$Old_IP" ] ; then echo IP address has not changed else iptables -D INPUT -i eth1 -s $Old_IP -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -i eth1 -s $Current_IP -j ACCEPT echo $Current_IP > $LOGFILE echo iptables have been updated fi fi

then just add this line to your crontab and it will check every 5 mins and keep your iptables up-to-date.
