everytime try create config file this!!

uisfra@luisfra-desktop:~$ noip2 -c

auto configuration linux client of no-ip.com.

can't create config file (/usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf)
permission denied
re-run noip, adding '-c configfilename' parameter.

great!! prob have been having else working great

add sudo in front if want make file in /usr/local/etc/

code:

sudo noip2 -c

sudo elevates root permission, user has no rights write /usr without it.

alternatively, put configuration file in home folder with

code:

noip2 -c -c ~/mynoipconfigfile

after that, you'll need start noip2 referencing correct config file. eg

code:

noip2 -c ~/mynoipconfigfile
