Hi,
Did you really read the FAQ? Hmm you seem to have missed a point.
What you are seeing on the Mywebserver is the realip, the ip -- using which the outside world can reach you.
However, you dont seem to be having a static ip hence you have got to DynDns. So download a client which will update DynDns automatically about your realip.
Observe the following steps:
1. You connect your ISP using your DSL modem.
2. Your ISP assigns a temporary ip to you, it may change the next time you drop the connection and connect again! so watch out
3. Your computer will have two ips. If you want to know them then check for these ips using the command ipconfig at the doslevel!
4. Now you have two ips! (1) realip - the whole world can reach you using it (2) localip - only you and yoursubnet people can reach you
5. Your problem is that you want the whole world to reach you, watch your website. That is why you got a domain name in DYNAMICDNS
6. Go to Dyndns and download a client which can update automatically your realip to Dyndns.
7. What this client does is -- when ever your ipchanges it will announce to the DYNDNS server what your ipis.
8. For example, when I type your domainname in my InternetExplorer, it will first go to DynDns webserver. That server if it doest know what your ipis it cant reach you --- SO THE CLIENT IS IMPORTANT! Understand!
Bye
: I have installed the MWS. Installation was not hard to do. i read all the FAQ and also went to the www.dyndns.org and signed up for the a/c. Now I have this information from them
: Hostname: jawadmaud.dyndns.org
: i have also placed this information in the configuration of MWS where it says Web site name. I am using verizon DSL and have a D-Link 704 gateway so that i can share internet on other computers too. I have also openned the port 80 for the computer i have installed MWS on. i checked the ip for the computer and it was 192.168.0.104 so i have enabled the port 80 for this ip.
: My question is how would someone access my server from outside as i was trying to do so and i can get through. i am not sure about this, on the MWS window it tells me its using this ip address :
: 151.203.237.115
: Please Help me on this as i have spent so much time on it already but i have been unable to make it work.
: i appreicate your time and patience.
