BT Business Hub

[Jonny Wright]

I know this is a double post (also in Hardware Hangout) but have had no response so thought I'd try my luck over here...

Does anybody know if the BT Business Hubs support Dynamic DNS? Also, how many ethernet ports do they have?

Thanks

If you're talking about the 2700HGV it doesn't have dynamic DNS on anywhere on its web interface as far as I can tell (if you're talking about those dyndns.org type sites that you setup to send your dynamic IP to on reconnection).

It has 4 ethernet ports

Should do, If not just get the Windows Mac or Linux client whatever your using. However doesn't the Business Broadband come with 5 Static IP's anyway? Just register a domain and then point them towards that . . . they wont change.

I know that there are several types but I am guessing you mean the more often seen 2wire router?

and I think it does support some type of DynDNS service somewhere in the advanced section of the interface, but its been a long time since I used one of these

Not sure of the model as I'm doing a favour for a friend and can't contact him at the moment. Thanks for help though.

Don't want to have to leave a workstation on really. But I didn't know it came with static IP's so thanks for that.

It does if you paid the extra for it, there are three types that spring to mind immediately

Business with dynamic IP

Business with single static IP

Business with 5 Static IP

It only costs like ?5 a month to get a static IP's so maybe thats a better offer?

Could well be. I think I'm better waiting 'til I can go see for myself what he has. Cheers for the replies anyhow
