Hi Guys I'm using Mandrake 9 and enjoy using it, so far with no major headaches. I would now like to set up a mail server with web access for my own use whilst travelling (I'm going to South Africa on holioday tomorrow).
I have a cable connection with a dynamically assigned IP and using a Linksys DSL/Cable router with my Linux PC connected via one of the available 4 LAN ports. Having set up an account with no-ip.com I have installed the client on my pc and think it updates my IP automatically, however I am a bit confused with where the router fits into all this. If my Dynamic IP changes the router will automatically remain connected. I have set up Mandrake using a static IP, and enabled a route to the PC using the routers DMZ function. Can I safely assume that this would give me access to my PC, just by entering the blahblah.no-ip.com address ? Does anyone have any suggestions for a webmail server ? I know the easiest way is just to forward all my mail to my ISP's facility - but thats not why I changed over to Linux a few years ago. I trust someone has a similar setup and can chuck me a few pointers. Regards Mark A
