Hi Guys
I got a ADSL router from Telkom a few years back, a Billion 800 VGT. I have setup a dyndns address so that I can RDP my box from anywhere and that works well.
My issue is, when ever my router restarts due to power outage, my DMZ host resets itself and I have to manually go into the settings and select my desktop IP form the list of candidates so I can remote my machine.

I have been doing this non-stop for some time now, but its driving me insane. How can I get this dam thing to save the IP address? Saving the config does not save the IP. I have tried using a static IP on my Desktop but no luck….

Any ideas ??
 
Why don't you setup port forwarding on the router, any traffic destined for por 3389 is forwarded to your pc IP but than you will have to give your pc a static IP.

anyone else correct me if im wrong but as far as I know that is 1 way of doing it
 
The Billion interface is a bit akward - make sure you understand how it works.

Often there is a "edit" button which you must also use somewhere, before saving.

yeah it is a bit confusing, if i recall there is a save to flash button in the one corner that will prevent settings from being lost when rebooted ;)

Thanks Guys, sorted. Yes you can manually forward the port but i wanted to avoid that.
SAVE TO FLASH :erm: hehe, frustration got the better of me there... silly menus setup
