Hmmm... well, I am now able to see my server, through no-ip.com from my workstation without (AFAICT) EITHER computer being in the DMZ. If anyone wants to verify that I am out there, go to http://colbyconsulting.no-ip.com . You should be redirected to the same thing with a "hole" number on the end, though you may not notice this as it flashes in the status bar below briefly. Then something that looks like my site will appear. You can tell it isn't my site because the button "meet my son" isn't in the lower left. I will be using this site to test my ASP.Net stuff. I have the .Net framework installed and working with IIS on this server and can (across my LAN) display pages making calls to the .net framework. Very soon we shall see stuff here. John W.

I went to the router and asked it the numbers, plugged them in to the right place and can now browse the internet so THAT is fixed. I still need answers as to whether placing either the IIS Server machine or the workstation in the DMZ would allow me to do my own testing of no-ip stuff. John W.

I have set up my web server to serve up a site. Some time ago I set up a no-ip account to allow using my home office server to serve a web page with a dynamic address assigned by my cable company. It no longer works. It appears that it no longer works because my router has assigned "holes" through the "firewall" to a specific internal address - 192.168.1.150 which was what the server was using. However now the server is being assigned an address by the router at boot and that number varies. Thus I need to "hard code" the IP address for the router back to 192.168.1.150 so that it matches what the router software has assigned the "holes" to. I thought I knew how to do this, i.e. (For Win2K Pro) right click My Network Places, select properties, select Internet protocol, click properties, select "use the following IP address", and fill in the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (the router address). I have done all of that. I did NOT fill in the "Use the following DNS Server Addresses" however as I don't know what that is nor how to find it. Reboot the server, the router, and the server again and the server does now report back the numbers I put in when I do an IPConfig from a dos box. Unfortunately now I can't see the internet from IE on the server. The "windows update" software (automatic update) did run however so IT could see the internet! Am I close? Is it just a matter of a tweak somewhere? Next question. I have not found a way to test the No-IP thing from a computer on the same LAN as the server. Can I put the server in a DMZ and THEN be able to see the No-IP address from my workstation (inside the firewall)? Can I leave the server inside the firewall and place the workstation in the DMZ and see the No-IP address? Is it simply impossible to see it (test this stuff) by my self? Any help much appreciated.
