I am useing dyndns.com for my dynamic ip address. I have the xep setup to report changes to dyndns. My ip changes very rarely, I think my prior address might have been a year old or more. It changed yesterday and Elk sent me an email that it had changed and then another telling me it successfully updated dyndns. But it did not. I checked my xep settings and it turns out the password for dyndns was wrong. I guess I chnaged it and forgot to update the xep.
But, my concern is that Elk sent me an email stating the update was successful when it was not! What's up with that? When I hit the "test" button in the xep it gave me errors until I fixed the password. Also, once I fixed the password and hit "Test", it said that it did not update because it hadn't changed. But my current IP was not what dyndns had. I ended up manually updating dyndns using their web-portal.
All in all, I am not terribly impressed with xep's handling of the situation. Granted, I had the wrong password in there, but it shouldn't have told me it successfully updated. It also should have done an update after I fixed the password.
XEP is running 1.3.26 firmware.
