Manual override DDNS IP.

We are allocated a dynamic IP address from our ISP quite often and found that a lot of users on this ISP's network use OpenDNS. The problem is that sometimes I would be assigned a new IP, and another user will be assigned my old IP, and we both use OpenDNS.

What happens is when I figure this out after a few days, I log in to the dashboard and find that the network is not connected. The IP address shown in the top line of the dashboard is correct for my network, but I have no option to force a re-assign of the new IP.

You would assume that if I login from the IP, I would be the user of the IP, and that the network that I need to assign this to would be under my control in the dashboard. This is the case, but there's no such option.

The only solution, for now, is to delete the network and re-create it. I feel this is extreme and a better solution is needed?

Deleting the network is not an option. You click the green arrows icon beside the IP addresses to update the IP address information of the network. Exactly as you expect it to be.

Thanks for your response. Which green arrow are you talking about? Where do I find it?

They appear only if your network is still not updated and if the IP address is not registered with OpenDNS.
