Port forward and Dynamic DNS

[#1]

ok, well i have set up no-IP and will try it on my router tonight if i get chance, if not i will do it later in the week
Thanks for the replies thus far

[#2]

Bear in mind with the no-IP thing - your router logs you in each time it connects, so you won't need to log in yourself every 30 days - the router's doing it for you

Hi, my router is always on, 24/7 so does that mean it will only log in the once as I do not disconnect it, or everytime the IP changes?

[#4]

Every time the IP changes and update every 24 hours if it hasn't changed.

[#5]

Thank you 

[#6]

Just found out the above - nothing to add to that Thanks npr!

[#7]

i tried it and it couldnt get on to the internet at all
Matt can you set me up a static IP and bill me?

[#8]

That makes no sense whatsoever. Are you saying that entering to No-IP details stopped you being able to get any connection with the internet? If to it sound like you put in the No-IP details in the wrong place and not where I said in reply #4.

Hi there,
I could do, but I'd need to take the payment from the card on your account and also give you a call to confirm the security code before taking the payment. If you've not got the No-IP login sorted please advise when would be best for me to call and sort this and we'll get it all done for you

[#10]

Yes Jelv I clicked on the link you provided and set it up. Then when I rebooted the router i could log on to it but no Internet? I reversed everything I did and it was fine again. All I dd was enable Dynamic Dns and set it to my No-IP address and forwarded port 1080 to 80.
Matt please contact me anytime tonight or tomorrow.

[#11]

Cheers for your time on the phone, as discussed I'll give you a call later on and we'll get this sorted for you.

Hi Matt
Thanks for the call. It has done it again though...
I try and connect to the Internet and my laptop finds the connection but cannot get any Internet and logging into the router takes ages but finally gets there. The first page on the router shows Broadband Connection as 'Connecting...'
I didn't touch any thing else I just entered in the address on the dreambox app as my no-ip:80
The Internet just came on briefly and ten back off again???
I am happy for someone to remote in
It just let me in again and then threw me out. It seems really unstable
I cannot now log on to my router I have tried my NO ip and my IP address for the router

[#13]

Hmm. Well, here's the graph of your connections from our side, looks like you've been successfully connected throughout:

Bear in mind the address in your dreambox app needs to be your no-ip:1080 rather than :80 as the router is accepting connections from outside on that port and then sending them to port 80 internally (but the router does that, you don't need to worry about it).
With regard to the internet going off then on again, I guess you mean on one of the PCs you were using inside the house?
I'll see if one of our hardware experts can log in remotely and double check the settings for you.

It was the same with my iphone it wouldnt let me on, then it would, then it wouldnt.

Here is the info i need to add
When on my local newtwork all i need to enter is:
Name: DM800SE
Address: IP of Dreambox
All others are left blank
Edit:
Picture isnt clear
Name:
Address:
Port
Use SSL?
CREDENTIAL
Username
Password

Hmm. You'll need two entries I guess, one for when you're at home on wifi and one when you're out and connected on 3G. Try similar to the following (if you haven't already)
On home:
Name: Dreambox Home Wifi
Address: 192.168.1.X (this is the actual IP for the dreambox)
Port: 80
Use SSL: No (if you have SSL selected on the dreambox it'd be asking you to use port 8080 so I guess you've not turned this on)
Username: your dreambox username
Password: your dreambox password
And the second one, for use on 3G:
Name: Dreambox Out Mobile
Address: http://your.No-IP.com (or whatever it is )
Port: 1080
Use SSL: No
Username: your dreambox username
Password: your dreambox password
Think that should work based on the settings we put in last night, sorry if that's already how things are but if so it should be working provided the box is on etc.
