Reverse DNS lookup

[ironhell]

I am trying to ssh into a server that does reverse DNS lookup... however, apparently my isp does not support that (I have DSL with dynamic IP) or I just don't have a hostname for one reason or another... Any ideas how I can get around this? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

didn't I answer this in another forum? Or am I going crazy?

yes and no... the tech at the school is claiming that the dynamic dns thing won't work...

can you tell me why he "claims" that? Anyway, your only other option is to buy a static IP from your ISP, which usually comes with a name. It's going to cost you, though. Normally static IP is business grade which of course is considerably more.

But I fail to see why DDNS wouldn't work for you? I'm running it myself and it works fine.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
