Using 5 RC1, I can not get the ChangeIP script to work.
It works fine with 4.x, but gives the following error with 5.0RC1:
SCRIPT ERROR: INVALID INTERNAL ITEM NUMBER
I need the same… Before I renew my account at ChangeIP this needs to work.
Hey guys - use this latest version for 5.x:
http://www.changeip.com/mikrotik/5.x.txt
This version is very different from the wiki version … instead of performing local IP detection it will use remote IP detection. Any feedback / fixes welcome.
Note: If your not going to use our services then please do not use our IP detectors. : )
Are you not afraid of server misuse and abuse? I remember this NTP server abuse from Netgear. 
we sometime correlate ip updates to the detectors and figure out who is using them without using our services… then if we feel like it we can feed them with fake ips : ) no really, just common sense, if your using our dns services you can use our ip detectors, if not, use the companies ip detectors that you are using for dns - all the ddns providers have their own.
changeip, I don’t believe :break is a valid command. It was documented in the v2 (maybe v3) documentation but never quite worked right.
When trying to use break, I get this error:
bad command name break
Yep - I threw that in there because it breaks the script because its a bad command : ) If there is another way to exit I would love to know it.
:error (“Not a valid command”);
I can get the ChangeIP script to work on the Server (433UAH v5.12,Sierra Wireles Usb Dongel, Compass 888)using:

- i can ping it an it updates fine.
The issuse I am having is getting the cleint side to do a lookup. I am using 3G on both sides and it will not resolve the the IP address. Keeps telling me that the DNS server was not able to resolve the IP. (I think the Network operator have disabled "Ping" requests.
[admin@HQ] > ping ip.changeip.com
while resolving ip-address: could not get answer from dns server
[admin@HQ] > resolve "westendpta.changeip.org"
failure: dns server failure
[admin@HQ] >
Here are two scripts I am trying to use:
Script 1
{
:local iface "3G dial out";
:local serverIP [:resolve "westendpta.changeip.org" ];
:local oldIP [/interface pptp-client get [ find name=$iface ] connect-to ];
:if ( $serverIP != $oldIP ) do={
/interface pptp-client set [ find name=$iface ] connect-to=$serverIP;
}
}
Script 2
:log info ("Start check for possible change of PPTP server dynamic IP address");
:local pptpServerDnsName "westendpta.changeip.org";
:local interfaceName "3G dial out";
:global pptpserverip;
:if ([ :typeof $pptpserverip ] = "nothing" ) do={ :global pptpserverip 0.0.0.0/0 }
:local current [:resolve "$pptpServerDnsName"];
:log info ("$pptpserverip" . " vs " . "$current");
:if ($pptpserverip = $current) do={
:log info ("No PPTP server IP address change necessary");
} else={
/interface pptp-client set [/interface pptp-client find name="$interfaceName"] connect-to="$current";
:log info ("PPTP server dynamic IP address changed from " . "$pptpserverip" . " to " . "$current" );
:global pptpserverip $current;
}
Any ideas how i can overcome this problem
I believe you might have a prpoblem with variable script. You are defining ‘current’ inside of an “if” statement, which makes that variable only valid in that code block. Try moving the definition of ‘current’ above and use :set to change its value maybe?
local current [:resolve “$pptpServerDnsName”];
is lost or not defined by the time this runs:
:log info ("PPTP server dynamic IP address changed from " . “$pptpserverip” . " to " . “$current” );

Hy. From the beginning of MT 5.x I am using the script that is tested on MT3.x and MT4.x that is published on the adress http://www.changeip.com/MikroTik/ It worked great for me until 2 days ago. Since then I can not update IP adress and there is an error in MT Log: ddns error connect error. I also tried the new script for v 5.x but problem remains the same.
Does someone know what happend and why changeip update no longer work in MikroTik? Can someone help? @changeip? TNX in advance!!
I am running one RB433 MT 5.22 and one x86 MT 5.22 router. Both routers have the same problem that started 2 days ago, as I already said.
I’m having the same issue with some of my RB’s (ddns error: connect error)
Today I can see that error log has changed to “ddns error timeout”. Problem still persist but error log has changed!
What is the situation with other users? Please reply share your experiance.
tnx
It seems that the problem was at Changeip side, because my setup at MikroTik side did not changed and last 3 days everything is back to normal, so the problem was at changeip side and now it is solved.

Hello
Can you tell us how much is your time for updating the IP in the Scheduler?, because I think its for the interval time, by the way I`ve disable the scheduler, Im trying to update for 4 hours til now, maybe its an abuse defense for changeip.
Thanks.
For last 3 days the problem is again present. Time is 2 min. Hmm
Yours?
Can someone please help a little bit?
Is Mikrotik script update for Changeip works for you other people?
Am I alone experiencing this problem or is it widespread?
I am using latest MT and this script http://www.changeip.com/mikrotik/ and everything was brilliant until aprox. 1 month ago when all the problems started.
Changeip support says that they changed IP addresses of their servers and that seems that there is a problem with Mikrotik that can not change IP address of changeip!?
Can someone who knows the situation from MT support please help? Any help is very appreciated!
Mate, use my script: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/dynamic-dns-one-script-to-rule-them-all/59088/1
It works pretty well with changeip
Hi Mate!!
Your script doesnt work on 5.22, thankyou anyway!!!
Saludos
PS: by the way… The ChangeIP issue “DDNS Error Timeout” continues.
I’m sure it works, because I use this version too
