Router configuration


The most of router contain a dyndns menu configuration. Define the dyndns.darweb.com as the server nam. The port number is 2000. The url is http://dyndns.darweb.com:2000/update. if you are a dyndnspro client, you must use the port 2010 and not 2000.

Use your domain name a s a login too.Introduce your dyndns password. The router will check the server for every update of the internet address (ip).

You must also config the NAT of the router to allow the forwarding of the 80 port to the web pc server (your local machine. ex. 192.168.0.2).
See your router documentation to get help.



5. Test your dyndns

   ping your domain name or do 'nslookup' command or dig command to see the internet address associated with the domain name.
   test tour web server if you have.
   



6. Dyndns problem

   
   If your machine responds to the ping via the domain name and the internet address of the domain is true, the dyndns problem is due a bad or miss config of the router or the desktop (machine).
