Dynamic DNS updating IP address that doesn't match router's IP
This may have been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find a similar question. I'm not talking about NAT here. I understand my devices have different IP addresses that are issued out by the router (ie 192.168.1.n) but my confusion isn't there. The problem seems to be that my "public" IP address doesn't match the routers actual IP. On the admin page, the advanced tab shows the IP address of my router (100.65.140.24). This seems to be my REAL ip address, as i can connect to my home server via port forwarding outside my home network when using that IP address. However, if i use services like http://www.whatsmyip.org then it shows my IP address differently (199.87.86.198). WHen i've set up the dynamic DNS with No-Ip, this is the same address it pushes... so it doesn't work. I don't understand why I seem to have a router IP and an "incorrect" public IP. What's going on there? Does it have something to do with my ISP - and if so, how does my router admin screen know the correct address? Could this be related to IPv6 or some other setting on my router? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank all!Solved41KViews0likes4CommentsNo-ip Dynamic DNS update not working with some hosts.
I just purchased the Orbi system and have tried setting up the Dynamic DNS feature with my no-ip.com account, using firmware 1.10.1.2. When I try either of the 2 domains in my no-ip.com account as the hostname, enter my email and password, apply, and then check the status of the update, I receive an error to the tune of: "Update failed. Host name is not correct". Then I tried adding a new free host to my no-ip.com account, configured it to update in the router settings, and it works fine. I suspect that perhaps there is something wrong with the update when the hostname is configued as a single top level domain, such as the first 2 I tried, vs when it is configured as a subdomain. So for instance when I set the host as these (fictional) hosts in my account, it fails with the error. domain1.com somedomain2.com When I set the host as this type of (fictional) host in my account, it updates OK domain1.ddns.net Anyone else experience issues getting a no-ip enhanced domain to update in their router?Solved

My apache configuration is a bit broken now. fortunately the admin page works well. I installed the owncloud add-on and it was working perfectly on the local host. Then I wanted to have access to it from public internet. Initially I set up a DDNS in no-ip.com then I just change the etc/apache2/sites-available/default file where I added the virtualhost for ports 80 and 443, I am not sure this was the file I had to edit, i also set-up the port forwarding in the router. After this I could access the owncloud from my local network and from internet through the no-ip domain. Then I wanted to create the SSL certificate and I tried using the cerbot, but it failed in different ways. One of the error was that the port 443 was being used, then I kill apache by console but still the error was there. The problem was that after that I couldn’t start apache, was getting some code error. I just did a reboot to the whole NAS and apache started but the owncloud connection was broken. ThenI tried local.ip/owncloud I get “The requested URL /owncloud/ was not found on this server.” But when I tried my local.ip I get to the readynas admin site as expected and the owncloud is up and running. I brought back the original default etc/apache2/sites-available/default but it did'nt work. I found out that owncloud is still accessible using http://local.ip/owncloud/index.php/login and also https. I tried different things found in the apache forums and owncloud forums, but somehow the file system is different and they hace other files and other configuration files. then i think i was starting to get the things worse and I decided to stop and ask for help. Right now the things are like this: http://local.ip/owncloud goes to http://local.ip/owncloud/index.php/login and works well https://local.ip/owncloud shows text that starts with "* author Lukas Reschke <lukas@statuscode.ch> * author Morris..... " certificate not working http://no-ip.domain/owncloud works well https://no-ip.domain/owncloud works well, certificate not working I also tried to use my owndomain that I have in godaddy but i couldnt make it connect to the no-ip domain. I created a masked forwarding but I dont know why it doesnt reach. I just don’t know how to fix the local.ip and how to add ssl cerfiticates without messing up the rest, should i add virtualhosts for the no-ip domain and the godaddy domain? I have spent some days on it, but cleary im still beginner to this things. thanks a lot for any help! /Oliver
