    Start a dyndns.org account. Then make a DNS domain(dynamic if your IP changes, static if your IP doesnt), enter in your IP address and your set.

    When running a dynamic connection, your IP Address will change every day or so, so you need to run a client from dyndns.org to keep updating your DNS to your current IP Address.
  • BODBOD
    which client would you recomend ibm?
  • Ka0sKa0s
    I use dyndns because my router has built in support for it.
  • BODBOD
    anyone else have any recemendations?
  • Ka0sKa0s
    Hell, this whole forum is on my server using dyndns!
  • BODBOD
    i have no router at the moment. i just need a temporary client untill i get a job....
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    use no-ip.org,, they're clien it better.

    dyndns.org's client never worked for me
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    Hmm.... should be interesting. I've never used a client, since my IP rarely changes.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    mine niehter, I have 4 IP Addresses in like 3 years
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    LOL. When my router went down I went through a few, with it being connected to different PC's.

    If my router stays on, I should keep the IP. Only thing will be if I shut it down in August when I go away.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    When you leave in August? Im leaving too
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    Oh. Aug 6th or 7th through Aug 21st or so. I was going to post it when it got closer so everyone didn't think I got arrested or something. When will you be gone?
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    No clue
  • BODBOD
    mine changes everytime i log on which is annoying....
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Dont you have DSL?

    Or that PPoE type of DSL?
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    That really sucks.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    PPPoE is OK if you have a router that supports PPPoE dialing
  • Ka0sKa0s
    DSL doesnt dial.


    Use No-IP if you dont have a router.
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    I think he means the PPPoE connection process.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Yeah, DSL authoration or whatevr, I never used PPPoE
  • BODBOD
    i'm not sure i just enter my e-mail and password into a dial up connection and connects in like 2 secs
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Oh dialup, that blows
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    Yea. That's what we mean. They limit you by making you do that. A router could do that for you, but you don't have one now.
  • Ka0sKa0s
    Its just manual PPPoE. I had to do it while my router was being gay. Its still not dialing in any way. Its just your modem communicating with your ISP. ANyway,.... just use no-ip...
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    he said he has dialup, not PPPoE
  • Ka0sKa0s
    only problem is cos im on ADSL my ip keeps changin every so often. so i decided to sign up for DYNDNS cos i read a review about it in a computer magazine.

    The Windows PPPoE connection thing looks ALOT like a dial up connection.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Ohh..... Just get a router with PPPoE
  • SurfinShell23SurfinShell23
    Yea, but he doesn't want to or can't. So he needs another solution.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    Oh, Pc router
  • TCPMetaTCPMeta
    Most routers handle PPPoE. I would get a Linksys or a TRENDnet Router. They're most common for PPPoE connections and come with the little niffty DYNDNS crap.
