Hey Chris, I am using the no-ip.com dynamic ip service. It works great. I am on cable.. so my IP address changes VERY INFREQUENTLY. I have other customers who use DSL from Verizon.. their IP changes more often than I change my underwear..but the dynamic dns still works great for them.
One little tip. In a straightforward environment with a simple server machine the no-ip update client is a breeze. However, if you have a few little twists.. it can be a nightmare.. in one customer's case, they had two network cards in the same pc, an extensive MS ISA Server firewall/proxy server, and some other stuff, and it took a while to figure out what options to use with no-ip's dynamic update client before I could get it to work.. but ultimately it did. The machine that you put the dynamic update client on needs to be ALWAYS running. If you don't like the idea of that, there are 'router based solutions', but they are not free, I haven't used them and don't know how good they are, but I know they exist...e.g. http://www.tzo.com HTH David Schlesinger -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 11:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Echovnc-users digest, Vol 1 #73 - 2 msgs Send Echovnc-users mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/echovnc-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Echovnc-users digest..."

The easiest way for your clients to reach your echoServer if your ISP gives you a dynamic IP is to install a "dynamic-DNS" client on the same PC as your echoServer. For example: http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html Using that free service, you could have the FQDN = "echo.myvnc.com" resolve to your echoServer, regardless of what the IP address is. That is, when your ISP changes your server's IP address, the dynamic DNS client detects this, so the "echo.myvnc.com" name is always correct. Hope that helps! cheers, Scott =09 On Sep 12, 2005, at 10:00 PM, Chris Rodriguez wrote: > To Whom It May Concern: > =A0 > I am a small business owner and was interested in implementing=20 > EchoServer into my existing computer repair service as an added=20 > benefit and upsell to my customers.
