Hosting website on ADSL line

I have a friend that has a Netgear DG834 Router. He is using dyndns which is updated via the Router. Currently when you type username.dybdns.info it goes straight to the Router (For remote configuration of the Router), which is on port 8080. On another PC there is a apache web server for the CCTV, the ip for that PC is 192.168.0.120 and it's on port 20409. The webserver is used for viewing the CCTV remotely.

Is there a way I can create another dyndns account (or host name) and have that forward to the 192.168.0.120:20409. Eg. cctv.dyndns.info which should take me directly to 192.168.0.120:20408.

Well if you look in your router documentation, you should be able to set up port forwarding for incoming/outgoing.

It may even have "virtual server" which allows you to easily setup a specific server on an internal pc on the network.

So what you should be looking at doing is setting up that the incoming port(20409) redirects to the internal network ip 192.168.0.120 on port 20409.
so http://dynsdns:20409 will point to cctv and http://dyndns should goto the remote router config(should disable this,unless you use it)

You only need one dyndns account as that just points to the ip address of the router.

Login to router
1) Services > create a new service using port 20409
2) Firewall Rules > Add inbound service > select newly created service from list and configure "send to lan server" > 192.168.0.120.
Done

Thanks, I don't have the router password so I every time I need to do something with the router I have to call the Guys in Jo'burg to set it remotely. They don't want to give me the password, so I'll just ask them to do the above.
