However, imagine now that for some reason you reboot your server (software update, power outage, whatever). Let's say your server is configured via DHCP and is using the LAN address 192.168.2.45 and you setup port forwarding on the router to relay port 8000 traffic through to your server. I think it's talking about turning off DHCP for the server that you're port forwarding to, not for the entire network. I think you're being too literal in interpreting the manual. Off the DCHP function for this feature, which seems to defeat the purpose of the DynDNS service and would also prevent other computers from internet access. The router web-based "help" for port forwarding says that I should turn There's unlikely to be a problem if multiple devices do, but there's no advantage.Ģ. either the router or the server) needs to talk to DynDNS.
It's redundant - only one system on your LAN (e.g. Since I really only need one machine for remote viewing, would this be a good idea? Should I assign a static IP address from within the router range to the dedicated video server? It looks like I could port forward the '8000' request to a specific machine if I assign a static IP address to it. The router web-based "help" for port forwarding says that I should turn off the DCHP function for this feature, which seems to defeat the purpose of the DynDNS service and would also prevent other computers from internet access. Since I am using the DNS updater from DynDNS, should I also have the DynDNS function enabled on the router or is this redundant?Ģ.
