Resolve local ip address to hostname

Post by macbroadcast »

Hello all,

when I am looking at my mail header in Thunderbird on Ubuntu, is shows my static local and my public (dynamic) ipv4 address, how can I display a hostname?

Code: Select all

X-Originating-IP: 77.181.116.156
Received: from [192.168.1.15] (x4db5749c.dyn.telefonica.de [77.181.116.156])
For example: macbroadcast.dns.navy < i am using this service from https://dynv6.com

Thanks[/b] 8-)

I'd try to help but I'm used to DHCP. It sounds like you're using dynamic DNS addressing that does not follow the RFC2136 standard (because you need to change it so often). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS

Perhaps you need to run one of the scripts mentioned in https://dynv6.com/docs/apis ?
