[AccessD] no-ip.com

Scott,

Thanks for the response.  I did have to give the IIS Server a fixed 192.168
IP, and with a few other things got it all working again.  Anyone interested
can go to http://colbyconsulting.no-ip.com to see the results.  This is just
a simple web page, but the time is created using a call to VB.Net.

Oooooohhh!

Ok, not a big deal, it just demonstrates that IIS is correctly talking to
the .net framework and passing the .net stuff off to ASP.Net to be handled.

For anyone not yet looking at .net, what this gives me is all of the
capabilities of the .net framework which include an enormously powerful set
of classes, as well as the programming languages - vb.net, c#.net etc.

John,

I had to give my X-Box a static IP on my network while making all the others
dynamic. What I did was give it an address one more than the number of
dynamic devices on the router (i.e.. 192.168.1.106). The reason for the 106
was I wanted to make sure it was out of range of the dynamic IP's which
begin at 1. I only have 5 other machines on the network. I also only allow
that range of IP's on my network (192.168.1.1 thru 192.168.1.6). It gives a
little more security since I'm wireless.

If this isn't the problem, sorry. I really shouldn't have commented without
reading all the other posts.

Scott

Lembit,

Thanks for that.  I went through this about 6 months ago and got it all
working, such that it could all be seen from someone outside of my network.
Apparently after that I went back to dynamic IP addresses from my router.
Thus I now need to assign the server a fixed IP address and test that it can
see the internet and stuff with that fixed IP address.  I think I have
assigned the fixed IP and the other computers in the LAN can see the server,
but the server (or IE anyway) can't see the WWW so I am still uncertain
whether I have succeeded even in that much.  I have to get that done of
course in order to assign the holes in the firewall to the IP address so
that IIS can get through the firewall.

I never did figure out how to get a workstation on my LAN to be able to go
out to the WWW and back in via no-ip and see the site.  Thus the question
about placing one or the other in the DMZ (just for testing).  It's a PITA
to have to get an acquaintance to help with the testing.

John,
I had a similar problem these days
I have set up one PC on the network as ftp server
I used Rhinosoft Serve-U ftp-server and its DNS4me to get a static address
for
my dynamic IP
while this software works ok and does what it should I had a problem to get
my
PC seen by the outsid e world
turned out ht my router (netgear RT311) has - in addition to the
brouwser-accessible setup - a filtering for some ports (FTP, WEB,...) which
can
only be changet by the telnet setup (plus a reset of the router)
so I got this working
the other part with setting fixed internal IP addresses I had teh same
experience as you. still waiting for a good idea to show up from somewhere
or
heaven :-)
