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
