Hi guys,
I'd like to SSH to my linux box but I'm on a college network which has DHCP. At the moment I've forced it onto a static IP but I figure at some point I'll become unstuck when the DHCP server decides to issue the same IP as I've chosen.
Is there an elegant work around for this?
All I can think of is getting the linux box to upload its IP address every hour or so and I can write a script that checks this file and SSH'es using that.
Cheers,
