BlueMist posted : This is why I like to use a router firmware that supports no-ip.com or what ever Dynamic DNS forwarding company I want to use. No need to have 3rd party programs in my PC(s) keeping track of the address my ISP provides me.

My router takes care of all of the notifying when any IP changes take place. The URL just keeps on working after a change as the router notifies the DNS provider of the new IP and they take care of the rest. I frankly don't know or care what my actual inbound IP address is since I only use the URL and possibly a port number to make inbound calls to devices.

I had the came problem happen to me when I reinstalled windows. I forgot to reinstall the IP auto updater app, and my IP address had changed without me realizing. It took me a little while to figure out why my IP's didn't match.

So you need to install their app or go to their website and manually update your ip address.

exactly what swflutka said. you need the updater app on your computer (or any computer on your network).

If so, I would try flushing your dns cache first.

Different IP address when pinged

DSMdude posted : I used to know this stuff inside and out but ever since becoming a dad, I've fallen by the wayside on a tech level :)

Anyway, Im using no-ip.com to assign my ISPs IP to a DNS name. I can ping my DNS name however it resolves to a different IP than what my current IP address is and the one that the no-ip.com client correctly picks up. Anyone know whats going on?

I did this exact thing a couple of years ago and worked without a hitch so im not sure whats going on this time.
