I am running a Linksys WRT54G router reflashed to the dd-wrt operating system. It has worked fabulously since day 1 and I am very happy with the OS. When I connect to the router from inside my network to determine the ip I get and addy like 169.x.x.x. I can ping it fine from inside. When I install the dyndns updater client (lastest version) it reports a totally different IP of 66.x.x.x.x and updates dyndns with that entry. When that happens I can no longer access my server from outside. If I turn off the updater client and manually put my ip as according to my router info screen and then save it, I can get to my server just fine. Why is the updater client and the CHECK MY IP ADDRESS utilty returning the wrong ip address and how to I get the updater running on my machine to send the correct ip as seen in my router config screen as opposed to this seemingly incorrect one that both the client and the checkip utility returns. I am sure there must be a quick fix I am missing. Until then I have had to disable the auto updater client and manually keep track of my rounter ip. Any thoughts, help would be appreciated. |

It's probable that your ISP has a transparent proxy. Try configuring inadyn (the updater in DD-WRT) or your software client to use Hi I tried using inadyn from my router and the port 8245 still give me this different (appearantly wrong) ip addy that does not work and is different from what my router admin screen reports as my public ip address. Any other thoughts on how to resolve this? There is something obvious I am missing, but....

Can you post the exact IP address reported by your router and the exact IP that the web sites are reporting. Is that router what connects you to your ISP - there's no ADSL modem or other device? Be aware that comment notification is unreliable and even when it works only poster of the comment is notified. It is far better to edit your question or add an answer. |
