Hi Neilsonator

Go to...
TinyIP (http://*******.com)
or
NoIP (http://www.no-ip.com/index.php?sid=ff400d8ec43b62363b1d8093e26a32dd)
...to sort your dynamic IP problems :)

I have registered on No-Ip.com and added a redirect but im still getting the NAK error??

is there something really obvious im missing?

[DJCassio]

You have to have a DNS client that sends your current IP address to NO-IP and does so everytime your IP changes. There are many available for trial.

[FesterHead]

If you have a dynamic lan ip, then everytime the DNAS machine get a new lan ip, you'll need to edit the port forwarding rules.

Fix:
Assign the DNAS machine a static lan ip and write the port forwarding rules once.

[Neilsonator]

OK firstly does is solving my dynamic IP problem solve Y I can connect sometimes but not others?

and could you suggest a good DNS client

Must show my ignorence in not understanding what u mean by writing the port forwarding rules!

Cheers!
