htcz Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hello I have the following setup in DDNS: DDNS Service: Custom DYNDNS Server: 8.23.224.120 User name: (my No-Ip username which is my email address) Password: (my No-ip passowrd) Host name: (my No-IP hostname) URL: /nic/update?hostname=(My no-ip hostname) [Tried this just as "/nic/update?hostname=" and it didnt work so I tried to change it] Additional DDNS Options: --ip_server_name 8.23.224.121:8245 / Do not use external: ip check Yes Force Update Interval: 2 And I am current getting in the status: Mon Mar 26 20:18:26 2012: INADYN: Started 'INADYN Advanced version 1.96-ADV' - dynamic DNS updater. Mon Mar 26 20:18:26 2012: I:INADYN: IP address for alias '(my NO-Ip host name)' needs update to '(My WAN ip address)' It stays like that so something must be wrong. Any tips? Thank you!

sc302 Veteran Posted March 29, 2012 Veteran Share Posted March 29, 2012 first see if you can resolve your name to the right IP address. that would be a first step. the next step would be to verify open ports. It should be almost instantaneous. I have dyndns and it is pretty darned fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be almost instantaneous. I have dyndns and it is pretty darned fast. Thank you for helping :) OK, first off I try pinging the name right now, nothing. I have however gotten a response in the past and when I try to go to it, it redirects me to my router (which is correct). This is trying it on the same LAN. It has never worked outside. Pointless, but pinging my WAN address works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paxa Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 probably stupid question but what version of ddwrt do you have on the router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htcz Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 probably stupid question but what version of ddwrt do you have on the router? Was told that it might be broken in the build I was using (which has the recommended one for my router) Upgraded to the latest one and now it updates.
