Hi all,

I've been screwing around with this for 3 nights now, and I am seeking some help...

I've signed up with dyndns.org - (myname).dyndns.org.

However, when I setup under "Sites" in the Web Config, I have to use myname.dyndns.org as the name and my actual dynamic IP hardcoded in for the webpages to be accessable.

This defeats the purpose if I need to go into the Web Config and change the IP when my lP changes.

I thought I could use 127.0.0.1 as the IP because when I key that into the browser, it works - the page loads... But it only works with the dynamic IP that I type in - as I will use the client app to update my IP with dyndns.org.

And the funny thing is, if I FTP to (myname).dyndns.org, I get into the FTP server. Or maybe this is not that funny...?

Is there a way around this? I've probably not set something up correctly.

Someone out there must have this same setup - How did you get it to work?

Any help would be GREAT.

Thanks!

Jerremy
JJ!
