DynDNS

[youradsl]

Hi,

Maybe someone can help me here. I setup a localhost on one of my pc's and use dyndns to take care of the dynamic IP (ADSL connection).
When I try to access it via a 3G (browser) it comes up with Gateway Timeout error.

When I ping it all works fine and the ping are real good (242 ms).

Does anyone have an idea why this is or what I'm doing wrong.

Thx
JJ

Maybe its ur firewall blocking access? I use dyndns and connect to my pc at home using vodacom 3g. But i use Windows Remote Desktop Connection and works fine.. Make sure the dyndns is working and updating.

Let me know if u get it to work

setup a rule for dyndns on your firewall.
btw my billion 7300 router has a build in dyndns client.
maybe yours has this type of facility?

Hi,

Thx for the fast replies. I have tried that - for testing perposes I currently have now firewall running on there.|
DynDns seems to be updating fine. It's weird though that I can ping it from any connection, but just not access it via the browser.

have you tried the dyndns client? it works great and you can set the app to run as a windows service. I never tried setting it up on my router as i never could get it to work on there.

Yes, I'm currently running it as a service.

You sure port 80 is forwarded correctly? Sounds like a routing issue to me.

port80 seems to be fine. Is it possible that I missed a setting in either Apache, php, or mysql tha may cause this. I've set this up a couple of time before and it always worked. (well up till now )

I've sometimes had problems getting in too, but when I fiddled with username/password options I managed to get it to work.

Thanks for all the advice guys. The problem is solved now.
Not sure what the problem was, but it was either Windows Defender or XPs build in firewall - I uninstalled both of these and all worked find then re-installed them both and guess what - all still works fine.
I must have had a setting wrong.
