Very odd. Upadater on Mac shows proper wan ip but host on dyndns shows ip address for an ISP that translates to AT&T. My ISP is comcast. Updater shows no activity in logs for last two days. I do have an iPad to connect to cameras but usually over wifi from my office. Disconnected logmein on Mac as one suggestion was this service was affecting ip address. Have to manually log on to dyndns account to update host at least every other day. I have no idea what is causing this or how to fix??? Thanks for any help, Bob |
Is this the same IP address as of your router's status page?
Your IP address may not have changed since then (from an Update Client perspective), so no reason for activity.
No, nothing in the world beside your ISP can affect your IP address. Also, it would be good if you could post your DynDNS hostname here and the IP address your Update Client sees, else we users have no way to look into this. |
Ok, so what WAN IP address is your cable modem showing, or the VoIP box?
You never know. http://Checkip.dyndns.com shows the IP address the internet sees from you, not necessarily your real WAN IP address as from the modem or VoIP box.
Oops, this is bad! Never ever run more than one Update Client against a hostname, else your hostname will be blocked due to abusive updates rather sooner than later.
Yes, this is what I thought, else you would see it in the Update Client's log.
Is there any other Update Client outside your LAN working against that hostname? Did you ever sell or leave a device with an Update Client somewhere else in the world? You may consider to change your password on the website and on the only one Update Client you run, and this symptom will most likely stop. |

Thank you for prompt response.
I do not think comcast is changing my ip as it has not changed. What is happening is that the host ip on dyndns is changing to an ip address that resolves to SBC communications (ATT) even though updater shows proper ip. So when I try to access cameras no go as dyndns ip (ATT) goes no where. Have not been able to tie change to any specific event. Perhaps conflict or issue with Foscam dydns updater??? Cameras are stand alone wifi enabled. |
