I am purchasing your standard act. I have 3 questions but first is most important. 1. I have name http://xxx.dyndns.org. that works ok. how do i find the ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx that goes with that http://dyndns.org name. My external address is no problem, but i have an app that requires that dns number. 2. I have a netgear RP614 v.2 which has a utility for working with dyndns. is it reliable and do you suggest using it or your utility to update dns when it changes. 3. all ports will pass through right? i have 80 working ok, but are there limits or blocks on other ports? |

Um, @PGMR, those are pretty basic answers and probably didn't take much thought, experience or research. I was hoping to get an official answer from someone who actually knows. Pinging answers with my external IP which is not the one I want. And yes I would think the router "should" work. I'm asking for someone who has done it. I'm not basing a $2500 project on "Should" work. |

First, Try pinging the address to get the ip. You can use ping from the command prompt. I think this should work. Next, The update client should work. Finally, You may have to unblock ports on your router. I hope this helps. |
