General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

I've tried fixing my problems with: https://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/why_cant_i_connect_to_my_server.html , and everything is working that I've tested from that guide.

I can connect via LAN, from the host or from another computer, my IP address is correct and ddclient is set up. Port 22 and 80 is open (I'm only using HTTP and SSH for this server).

My DNS Seems correct:

I'm running everything on Fedora Linux, and I've flushed my iptables. No other firewalls are enabled and SELinux is disabled, although I assume my server configuration shouldn't be a problem as I can access everything perfectly fine locally. What is the problem here? I'm kinda lost. Any help would be much appreciated.

1 Answer:

Your issue is that you are using your internal IP address (192.168.0.34), not the external IP address for your internet connection. Since 192.168.x.x addresses are not routable on the Internet, it isn't possible to connect for elsewhere on the Internet.

Go to http://checkip.dyndns.com from that internet connection and see which IP address it says you have. That is the IP address your hostname should be pointed to.

Once you do that, you will want to install an update client on your network that will notify us whenever your IP address changes. Here is a link to update clients you can download: http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/

Make sure you only have ONE update client running on your network, preferably a software client on your computer (since many router update clients don't work properly).
