    Dynamic IP...

    Hi,

    I dont have a static IP adress my Ip is changes all the time (when I connect and reconnect the internet)

    I want to know if I can define a virtual adress like www.SSSS.com to be connected to my local site, and change dynamic by the correct Ip adress at the same time?

    How to do that?

    thanks..

    Hi b007,

    if this web site is for testing purpose and if its on your local web server only then you can assign a private IP like 192.168... and add that web site entry with IP in your Hosts file present at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

    so that when you ping your web site it will point to that specific IP address.

    That's why Tom posted DDNS - that's what you need.

    Re: Dynamic IP...

    https://www.dyndns.com/ Allows you to have a URL such as www.myserver.com which resolves to your dynimically changing IP address - hence Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS).  It does this by you installing an app onto your server which bascially keeps reporting your IP address, some routers also come built in with this function so you don't need any apps running to perform this.

    I have been using this service for years with a home server connected via DSL (with Dynamic IP) and it has never failed.

    There is also www.no-ip.com which does the same task.
