I have UltraVNC on my home server intergrated to the web and a dyndns url so that I can gain access to my home network on the run. But it seems that the service keeps dieing out. One day I can get it and the next it won't allow me access. When I can't gain access I can ping and trace route the url. I get home that night and reboot the machine it seems to work again for a time period. One thing that I have thought of it creating a script that will kill the VNCserver process and restart it everynight at say 3AM(scheduled task). Does anyone see any problems with this solution. Or does anyone have another solution to my problem.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide in advance!

I guess the first question is - Do you keep your router / Cable Modem or DSL modem on all the time?
The next question if that was a yes... why not just remember the IP you get rather than using a dynamic dns provider url? This can be with an email to web email and that stores it there.
I know that all hosts DHCP the address to their clients however it is more likely if you keep your device on all the time that the table for DHCP will continue to give you the same address rather than a different one on expiration.
Then you wouldnt have to kill any service and it should run just fine all the time.. Thats what I do...?
