Hi there,

I've decided (and set-up) a server at home and am going to be dabbling in doing a bit of hosting and having remote access to my network at home.

So I've got a server setup and running Windows Server 2008, and IIS and everything - this accessible from the current IP on the outside world (using a seperate connection to test this), and I can verify that it is accessible. The ports are all forwarded, yaddah yah...

Now, I've only got a dyamic IP address, and I don't have an option of changing this - I wish I could go static but do not have a choice.

I've messed around with this heaps previously, and have yet again, set up an account with dyndns.org so that I can access the server all the time from a single address. This being owenw.doesntexist.com - my problem is, that even though this is being updated (as reported by the DYNDNS client on the server) and the fact that I can definately view the server via the current IP on the outside world, the address will not work, even though it responds to pings.

So my question is, what is going on here? Why can I not access it when using the auto-updated dydns domain, but can when I use the IP?

Any help is much, much appreciated, and I hope I've been detailed enough :)

not sure that you have set it up right.

on my dynamic account when i do a look up i get

canonical name bluefish.getmyip.com.

aliases

addresses 80.189.96.113

on yours i get

lookup failed owenw.doesntexist.org

Could not find an IP address for this domain name.

so i looks like the owenw.doesntexist.org is not getting an IP address, have you looked at the website to see what IP address it is seeing?

hope that makes sence ;)

My domain is owenw.doesntexist.com - that could be why that lookup didnt work - it was a typo in the original post - updating now.

Yeah that helps !! ;)

I now see your domain with an IP address of 125.238.236.103, however i still get an error when trying to connect.

Connection Interrupted

The document contains no data.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

are you filtering access in any way?

i am able to get to it. both by ip and by name.

make sure you aren't using http://www.owenw.doesntexist.com, it is just http://owenw.doesntexist.com, if you have ftp open then it would be ftp://owenw.doesntexist.com, if you have a different service on a different port then it would be http://owenw.doesntexist.com:[port number here]

you do not have a www record for owenw.doesntexist.com so www will not work.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
