    If you ask me, iDynDNS is pretty useless at the moment. Since it can’t only get your local IP on a wifi network. Nor does it work over EDGE/GPRS.

    Of course, you can easily access your iphone via a domain name then, but that can be done a lot more easily, and without having to do some funky long domain name like jimehsiphone.mine.nu or whatever.

    First simply set your iPhone to use a static IP address on your home wifi. Then modify the “/etc/hosts” file on your mac, or “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts” on your windows pc, and add “192.168.2.12 iphone” to the very bottom, save (and reboot if you’re a windows user). “192.168.2.12” obviously being the static IP you set your iPhone to.

    Then just connect to “iphone” in your sftp client, or run “ssh iphone -l root” in the terminal on Mac OS X to connect to your iPhone.

    But anyway, I hope iDynDNS soon supports remote ip checking.

    I agree with the previous commenter (jimeh) that iDynDNS is pretty useless unless it works with the external IP address, however, his approach is very dated. Rather than start mucking with host file entries and static ip addresses, which requires more user intervention and management headaches, just do a DHCP reservation on your router/dhcp server, putting in the mac address of your iPhone. This way you’ll ALWAYS know what IP address you get, and SSHing in will be a snap.

    Just a suggestion….enjoy.

    I plan to use iDynDNS in combination with a VNC server for doing demos on my iPhone. I use VNC to connect to the iPhone from a laptop hooked up to a projector so that everyone can see the demo. Even if I am on someone else’s private network, I can connect using the same domain name every time. It’s easier than looking up the IP address the iPhone was assigned and typing in the numbers on the laptop each time.

    I agree that if you are always on the same network it’s probably easier to use a static IP or a DHCP reservation.
