vertekal Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Or can I only point my domain to them? I'm trying to set up service with Network Solutions dynamic DNS feature, and would like http://mysubdomain.**** pointed to my public IP's current dynamic address. Right now I have http://mysubdomain.**** redirected to http://mysubdomain.dyndns.org, but want to get rid of dyndns.org since that's the URL my users see after they're redirected. With Network Solutions' service, they'll see http://mysubdomain.****. So I need to be able to modify my DNS records in order to use their service (or at least that's the impression I got from NS). Thanks! Quote
LisaJill Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 You would need to submit a ticket to the Help Desk for this. =) Quote
vertekal Posted December 13, 2004 Author Posted December 13, 2004 but it IS possible, right? (even if help desk does the editing instead of me doing it) Quote
TCH-Rob Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Wouldnt they have to change it everytime your dynamic IP changes? How often is that? Quote
vertekal Posted December 13, 2004 Author Posted December 13, 2004 daily, weekly, monthly .. just random. I'm waiting to get more info from Network Solutions. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to redirect mysubdomain.**** to a dynamic IP where the URL in our client's web browser shows OUR URL and not the URL of dyndns.org or any other dynamic DNS service?

LisaJill Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 If you have a dynamic IP address you should use something like dyDNS or no-ip.com (which is what I use) and point the subdomain to the URL that you choose from that service, rather than the IP. With no-ip.com I just run a small piece of software that updates their information instantly so I never have to worry about either a number nor the number changing. =) Quote
vertekal Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 Yeah I'm running dyndns.org at the moment. I send clients to a page of ours, subdomain.**** which is redirected to mydomain.dyndns.org. The problem is that the URL in my client's web browser says dyndns.org, when I wish it could have my company's URL instead. It's not a huge deal, as everything is working how I want .. it's more of a cosmetic thing. Imagine you click a link on Microsoft's website and it takes you to a Microsoft page hosted by Geocities or something ... Quote
vertekal Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 What about if you set up a CNAME that pointed subdomain.domain.com to domain.dyndns.org? Would that change the URL in the web browser? Quote
