The suggestion was to use the TCPIP Configuration Notebook to activate DHCP/DDNS. Naturally, it ain't that simple. As far as I can make out, the interface for a serial Comms port would be 'sln'. The TCP/IP Config Notebook is for LANs, so no 'sln's appear in the interface list. You can't activate DHCP/DDNS for the loopback interface, and I've tried activating them for LAN INTERFACE 0 ( but, since there is no LAN card, DHCP self terminates at startup ). Any suggestions?
