| 1125712 | 2010-08-09 01:09:00 | Unless, of course, the IP we're being given is the one DynDNS is returning and being taken as correct, without checking what IP the modem actually is currently assigned ;) | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1125713 | 2010-08-09 05:05:00 | I know from my own setup that sometimes I just have to go to the dyndns page in my modem and just re-enter the password and everything goes right | nedkelly (9059) | ||

| 1125715 | 2010-08-09 09:21:00 | Hey guys, thanks for the replies About the other IP address... my router told me one IP address which was the same as at whatsmyipaddress.com and telecom's dns servers obviously had another one that you found - both worked! Have rebooted the router, disabled DNS services on the 2003 server, checked that apache isn't binding to a non-existent network interface, re-configured the port forwarding. My current IP is: 125.238.203.22 I have figured (from my server's access.log) that whenever anything inside my home network requests anything that points to my IP address, the router automatically processes and routes it internally to avoid excess bandwidth I guess... (I must have been wrong to say that Telecom users could access it) Currently the server has no installed firewall or antivirus - just the default Windows Firewall and the systems in place in my router. What really puzzles me is the fact that nothing external can even ping my router (which yes, is configured to respond to external ICMP traffic)? Theoretically, if my portforwarding was wrong or there was some problem from the router to the Apache software, external users would at least be able to ping my router and reveal its existence - correct me if i'm wrong. Also, in my troubleshooting, I've been working directly by IP to exclude any DynDNS problems - as unlikely as that is. Thanks, Justinsg |

| 1125716 | 2010-08-09 11:19:00 | I also just reconfigured my entire router: 30 second memory wipe, 30 second disconnected power, power on, reconfigure via ethernet, test external ping, fail :( | justinsg (11165) | ||
| 1125717 | 2010-08-09 11:58:00 | Is it a router combo or a standalone router with a modem separate? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1125718 | 2010-08-09 12:07:00 | I also just reconfigured my entire router: 30 second memory wipe, 30 second disconnected power, power on, reconfigure via ethernet, test external ping, fail :( How are you testing external ping? Does your router have a firewall log? The 'shields up' test page at grc.com could be helpful/ |

| 1125719 | 2010-08-09 20:26:00 | Even if you've configured port-forwarding, make sure you've disabled your firewall on it, and the likes of SPI filtering. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1125720 | 2010-08-10 00:35:00 | Since it used to work fine and now it doesn't, makes me wonder if Telecom have anything to do with it... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
