your domain, login and password.
server : dyndns.darweb.com
port : 2000
domain name : your-domain name
login: your domain name
#Attention : if you are using dyndnspro service, the port will
be 2010 and not 2000
Url : http://dyndns.darweb.com:2000/update

Edit the /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf and update your domain
name and password. Example :
#use=web, web=dyndns.darweb.com:2000/update
use=web
protocol=dyndns2
#Attention : if you are using dyndnspro service, the port will
be 2010 and not 2000 #server=dyndns.darweb.com:2010 server=dyndns.darweb.com:2000
mx=no
login=your domaine name
password=your dyn password
#Your domain name
your domaine name (exe. ahhh.com)
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.
-
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.
-
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).
