Simple DDNS (dyndns) question
Hi all.
I have a quick question.
I have created a user on dyndns.org.
Lets say the login name is (This is an example) : Jarl
Then i have added a subdomain called (This is an example) : 123.dyndns.org
I have added the ip adress so its pointing at my network here - if i make a ping i will get answer on port 80 ! Great.
Now i want to setup my IP camera, and want to add this user into - so it will update the ip adress (This is the way i have understood it works)
The DDNS section is asking me for some things.
[HOSTNAME] > What hostname should i add here ? jarl.dyndns.org ? or 123.dyndns.org ?
[Username] > I will guess that will be 123.dyndns.org ?
[Password] > The password i have hostet my user account with ?!
When i see in the log i get the message :
<DDNS> User name and password isn't correct.
<DDNS> User name and password isn't correct.
<DDNS> User name and password isn't correct.
Can you please assist me with the correct information!
Thank you

This is a panasonic WV-NS202A
It is behind a router setup.
It has LAN ip 10.10.10.10

Ah, looking at the manual for the WV-NS202A, I believe that its DDNS config is meant to work with, for example, a Microsoft DDNS server (often run in conjunction with a Microsoft DHCP server). I don't think it will work directly with DynDNS.org.
But all is not lost.
Since you are behind a router, then from the perspective of DynDNS.org (and the rest of the internet), your local network is all behind the one IP address that you want to update. So any machine on your local network could be used to run periodic updates with DynDNS. The Windows client they provide is probably the easiest to use, if you have a Windows box handy, but the Mac or Linux clients can also work; some routers may have built-in configuration to auto-update with DynDNS.org as well.
You have your router forward some port such as 80 to the IP camera, correct?
If any device handles the updates with DynDNS.org, then remote access to that IP will reach your router, and the request can get forwarded to the camera.

Okay ! now i think i have understood.
Solution 1 :
I can add this into the router, and then in will update my information via dyndns.
Solution 2 :
I can install the dyndns client ( a small piece of software ) that will update the information on the dyndns!
Am i right ?

That should be right.
Solution 1 depends on whether your router supports it.
Solution 2 should be easy; make sure that the software client is configured to update the outward-facing IP (not your local network IP); I believe this is typically the default in the Windows client.

I have found out that my router is supporting this!
I added the information and get this "Configuration changes have been accepted."
If my ISP should change my WAN ip adress it should be changed on the dyndns page! right ?

Excellent -- yes, that's right. There may a few minutes of delay after an IP change by your ISP.
so now you just need IP forwarding on the router to get port 80 to the right internal IP and SECURITY !!!

Sure! I know i need to setup some security :)
Thank you!
