Cmon , a little script digging is not that hard. Try changing your script to use a specific server:

Original script:

Code:Select all

:log info [ :put [/tool dns-update name=$ddnshost address=[:pick $ddnsip 0 [:find $ddnsip "/"] ] key-name=$ddnsuser key=$ddnspass ] ]

Change to use 170.178.190.165:

Code:Select all

:log info [ :put [/tool dns-update dns-server="170.178.190.165" name=$ddnshost address=[:pick $ddnsip 0 [:find $ddnsip "/"] ] key-name=$ddnsuser key=$ddnspass ] ]

i also faced this issue for about 2 weeks, but now its working.

If anyone with more experience can help, I would really appreciate it! THNKS in advance.

If you're not using their server for anything else at the moment of your update, you could add a dst-nat rule to nat the old IP to the new one.... then disable or remove that rule as soon as the update is completed....

It's a silly workaround, but it might work.

Here is the changeip DDNS script i am using. so far its working fine as of 8th-dec-2015.
(I am using it on few 5.20 x86 versions, and mostly at 6.33.x versions)

Code:Select all

:本地ddnsuser“DDNS_USER_ID@hotmail.com”:当地ddnspass "DDNS_PASS" :local ddnshost "MYDDNSHOSTNAME.dns1.us" :local ddnsinterface "pppoe-out1" :global ddnslastip :global ddnsip [ /ip address get [find interface=$ddnsinterface disabled=no] address ] :if ([ :typeof $ddnslastip ] = nil ) do={ :global ddnslastip 0.0.0.0/0 } :if ([ :typeof $ddnsip ] = nil ) do={ :log info ("DDNS: No ip address present on " . $ddnsinterface . ", please check.") } else={ :if ($ddnsip != $ddnslastip) do={ :log info "DDNS: Sending UPDATE!" :log info [ /tool dns-update name=$ddnshost address=[:pick $ddnsip 0 [:find $ddnsip "/"] ] key-name=$ddnsuser key=$ddnspass ] :global ddnslastip $ddnsip } else={ :log info "DDNS: No change" } }

Thank you very much for your help! But sadly that does not work for me.
The same error is displayed "DDNS: sendig update; connect error; script error: connect error"
SS:

This script also is trying to connect to 204.16.170.40 and this does not work any more for me for last 2 weeks.
Where are you situated? USA, EU...? I am in EU, Croatia. Maybe this is important factor!? Maybe last changes from the changeip.com side have influenced the network topology, traffic... I really can not figure it out. I am 100% sure that this is not an issus of the specific Mikrotik router / version because I have two different routers (both in the same country, different location) and both have problems for last 2 weeks, and both are different configurations as well as MT versions.

Can you please check to what IP your router is communicating? 204.16.170.40 or ...??
THANK YOU

Ok as your requested, I checked ddns at following Location right now and working OK.
(I provide network support to various operators so i have there rb access)

- PAKISTAN > checked around 5-6 different networks , Working OK, DDNS Sent update fine, i can access there router with ddns name.
- ITALY > Working OK, DDNS Sent update fine, i can access this router with ddns name.
- AFGHANISTAN > Working OK, DDNS Sent update fine, i can access this router with ddns name.
- Cote De Ivory > Working OK, DDNS Sent update fine, [UPDATED]

TIP:
远程路由器上至关重要,我总是使用两个ddnservices , like changeip.com and dynu or noip ddns. this way if one ddns service fails to connect/update, second usually works as per my experience. I am using dynu as secondary ddns service on few routers from past few weeks and its working ok, & AFAIR somewhere, noip however requires you to confirm the account every 30 days.

I am not sure, but I think that 204.16.170.40 is somehow hard-coded into MT?

Mine Non-authoritative answer for nic.changeip.com is also 170.178.190.165, same as you, but my router is trying to communicate with 204.16.170.40, and if I try to manually specifydns-server=170.178.190.165then I need to also specify the "zone" parameter and if zone parameter is left blank than also error occurs and if zone parameter is specified like something than again not working.

Hi all,

Sorry to dig up an old thread, however I am trying to configure my RB3011 to update my ChangeIP address, instead of using the Homing Beacon application on my PC.
When running the script, I get an error stating "Authentication Failure". I have checked and double checked my username and password and can confirm that the credentials I am using for ddnsuser and ddnspass are correct.

[EDIT] I am using RouterOS v6.41.2

Am I doing something wrong here?
The current script I am trying to use is

Code:Select all

:local ddnsuser "xxx@xxxxx.xxx" :local ddnspass "xxxxxxx" :local ddnshost "xxxxxxxx" :local ddnsinterface "pppoe_out1" :global ddnslastip :global ddnsip [ /ip address get [find interface=$ddnsinterface disabled=no] address ] :if ([ :typeof $ddnslastip ] = nil ) do={ :global ddnslastip 0.0.0.0/0 } :if ([ :typeof $ddnsip ] = nil ) do={ :log info ("DDNS: No ip address present on " . $ddnsinterface . ", please check.") } else={ :if ($ddnsip != $ddnslastip) do={ :log info "DDNS: Sending UPDATE!" :log info [ /tool dns-update name=$ddnshost address=[:pick $ddnsip 0 [:find $ddnsip "/"] ] key-name=$ddnsuser key=$ddnspass ] :global ddnslastip $ddnsip } else={ :log info "DDNS: No change" } }

Thanks in advance.
