I've searched the forums and other problems seem similar but I haven't been able to resolve using standard troubleshooting. I have set up a CCTV system for remote viewing. However, even before I can get to the CCTV, the web page does not load and the web client does not load. This is my info: hostname: http://squire.dyndns.biz/ Verizon FiOS/ Actiontec MI424-WR router/ Dynamic IP 25Mb down-25Mb up/ Windows XP running DVR software/ Ports forwarded: 80 (TCP), 8080 (TCP/UDP)/ DynDNS registered on router/ DynDNS IP updating client running/ Checked to make sure hostname resolves to most recent public IP/ Manually updated IP just in case/ DNS cache flushed/ Openport tool used to make sure ports are open I can access the web client and web page from local machine so I think the internal CCTV and workstation setup is fine. Also, I was able to access the CCTV when manually inputing the most current IP address into the client side camera software from a remote workstation as if it was static which worked until the IP changed. Just don't know what's happening on the broadcast with Dynamic DNS. I'm probably missing a very obvious and simple step somewhere. Any insight from a second set of eyes would be appreciated. Please let me know if you need additional information. |

Further, you must use Internet Explorer to access your site Edit:
Although you have accepted my answer (thanks!), I still want to comment on this sentence. No, DynDNS is nothing to do with clients or browsers or connectivity at all, never. It just resolves your DynDNS hostname to your current IP address, in case one (and only one!) update client propagates this information out of your network to your DynDNS hostname. But this has also been mentioned by Cry Havok already. And if you want to know how I found out about your ActiveX "problem": Originally I visited your site with FireFox, but got just a white page with an object not loaded. So I looked at the HTML source code and saw that some object was needed, most likely an ActiveX control. I revisted your site with Internet Explorer (being the only one with ActiveX capability) and found my assumption confirmed. After having temporarily added your site to the trusted sites zone, the ActiveX installed and the full content was displayed... Thanks, I'll try that.

You're right. I was confused. The web client is from the DVR software and I didn't realize that. I knew it was something simple that I was just looking at the wrong way. Thanks.

First off, don't use more than one device to update your hostname, that will lead to your account being blocked for abuse. Now, when you say you can access it using the current WAN IP - is that remotely or locally? I can see port 80 is open on your hostname ( Does the CCTV software actually work with hostnames? Have you checked with the manufacturer to see if it only works with IP addresses? Be aware that the only thing DynDNS is involved in is resolving your hostname to the IP address you updated it with. If there are connectivity problems then it isn't related to DynDNS. Finally, if you haven't already I'd suggest you work through this guide on testing and configuration for remote access. Thanks for the response. I will make sure to disable one of the update clients. I can access the cameras locally through the web camera client on the browser (which I'm guessing is http://DynDNS.com's) by going to the http://squire.dyndns.biz. And I can access the cameras remotely by manually punching in the current ip address into the network preferences of the CCTV software. The CCTV software also has an option for ddns. The is the screenshot (just so you know that it does support ddns, not to troubleshoot it for me): http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l85/yvgeny/cctv.jpg Don't think it's connectivity.

It was the ActiveX problem. The CCTV software, I'll deal with separately. Appreciate your help.

Here are a couple of DNS reports I ran: http://www.dnscog.com/report/dyndns.biz/1292229145 http://dnssy.com/report.php?q=squire.dyndns.biz
