    Hi

    I have a Netgear DG834G Wireless Router.

    I currently update my Dynamic IP using the DNS Update client which runs on my Mac, however im away at University now.

    I need a way to ensure that the Dynamic IP/filtering is still going to be up to date, when im away.

    Reasoning being my Mum has Lodgers that using the Internet Access.

    I have noticed under the Routers Configuration that its possible to setup a Dynamic DNS Service. It only has the option to select www.DynDNS.org

    Setup requires the following:-
    Host Name:
    User Name:
    Password:

    Thank you in advance :bigsmile:

    So register a (free) DDNS subdomain at DynDNS.org.
    Then setup your OpenDNS service (not DynDNS!) at http://www.dnsomatic.com/
    Then setup your DynDNS.org and DNS-O-Matic service at http://dnsalloc.appspot.com/

    How's this supposed to work?
    1. Your router updates your DynDNS.org subdomain.
    2. DNSallocator gets the new IP address from your DynDNS.org host and updates DNS-O-Matic.
    3. DNS-O-Matic then updates your OpenDNS network (and possibly more DDNS services).
    Would this work for you as well?
