I've set it up but can't seem to get it to work.

http//XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX8081 works and everyone can use that but it changing mean's I have to tell everyone what the IP address is everytime

Just wanted to know if anyone else has done this and has anyone got it working at all, and if possible tell me how to get it working

Cheers

I use DynDNS.com, but I'm sure the principle is the same.

Some routers (Linksys for sure) have a facility for you to enter your DynDNS account details into the router, so that if/when the router drops & reconnects it will automatically inform DynDNS of your new IP -- so the name you type in can stay the same and the updates happen in the background. This is how I have my system and it works flawlessly.


Alternatively, I'm believe (but I haven't checked) that both DynDNS and NoIP have small applications that you can run on your PC that will perform the same task of updating their master records whenever you log on or are assigned a new IP address.

I've used both now and still the same problem, all my users can see use the program if they use my IP address but when I use No-ip web link or DnyDNS web link it won't work at all, I don't understand what the problem is.

Any help is greatly appriecated

And have you set up the program that updates the IP address??

I am running Vibe Streamer with DynDNS with no problems. I use the updater software supplied by DynDNS.

Can you run other applications using your DynDNS domain, or is the problem just with Vibe Streamer?

It DOES work with No-IP.com. I'm currently using it just fine.

Any dyndns/no-ip.com like service works fine since all it does is redirect you to an IP address. And just to be sure set your ip setting in vibe streamer to "all unassigned".

Have you verified that your IP address is really registered correctly at no-ip/dyndns?

Try this
- check what your external IP address is http//www.whatsmyip.org/
- start (Run..) cmd.exe and type ping your_domain_name.no-ip.org

The your_domain_name should be the domain name you've registered at no-ip.com or whatever service you've used.

If the ping command doesn't reply with the same ip address shown on whatsmyip.org, then your router or pc does not register your ip address as supposed to. Maybe you have not even configured it to be registered through your pc or router? This is a must, especially if you have a Dynamic IP address (DHCP) from your Internet Service Provider.

Once you've tested this we can take it from there... )

I currently use DynSite[/url3i6w7sdj] with no-ip.com and it works fine.

Okay I tested my ip address on that site came up with the one I'm using with No-ip DUC but when I pinged the sites came up with a completely different IP address is there something I have done wrong in setting up the sites?

I had the same problem a few days ago, when my IP changed it wasn't sent and updated for my alias. Try logging on at their site and manually update the IP they have recorded.

I've had no problems with the no-ip service in the past but if this continues I will turn to dyndns instead. I suggest you do the same.

Okay the site brings up the same IP now but when I go to my site it brings up my router when I put http//mydomain.no-ip.info8081 nothing comes up its getting to the point where I'm going to give up

All the ports are forwarded and they are all open I know this as my http//XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX8081 works so is the problem on the No-IP side or my own side?

Make sure you use your internal ip inside your own network... use your noip.info adress only from the outside.

It goes to your router? Do you have remote adminstration enabled on your router with port 8081 being used? If so, that may be the problem.

I use DynDNS without any problems. You must have something configured incorrectly on your end or there's a conflict somewhere.

Icthus, what kind of router do you have?

Icthus

I'm on AOhell and port 80 is blocked could this be the reason I can't connect to my vibe streamer from No-ip?

If you run your VibeStreamer on port 80 thats probably the case.
try another port.

Have you tried doing a couple of refreshes in your browser after you've connected to your server? sometimes the browsers cache screws up and doesn't show you your shared files until you refresh once or twice.

I found out what the problem was, I was a free user and they put a frame around the site this prevented the folders frame from loading properly.

I sorted this by buying a full enhanced account and works a dream I love you siit just so you know ;)

I've got the same problem -

I'm using DynDNS thats fowarded from a domain I bought. If I use either the domain I bought, OR the DynDNS domain, I can't get the folder list page to load. Just errors out. Most of the other frames load, however.

But when I use the straight IP address it works. I get the IP address from logging into DynDNS and just copy/pasting it into the URL with 8081 added.

DynDNS doesn't add another frame outside the frames of the streamer page AFAIK.

EDIT - is there a TTL or something similiar that would cause this problem, since it is being redirected essentially through three different IPs?
