Title: Dynamic IP Router, Setting up remote contact
Post by: K5WK Ken on 2012-04-16, 20:06:10

At the moment I am looking at K3 to K3 setup, but have equipment coming to include ACOM 2000A and Steppir and Green Heron., and AC Outlets.
I do not want a computer running at the HOME RADIO site, just my CISCO LINKSYS WRT610N router. 
I am trying to do those things needed to allow me to always contact my router even if it has been restarted and/or the ip address has changed.

When I look at the DDNS tab on my router, that service is currently disabled, but I have only two other choices DnyDNS.com and TZO.com.
It appears I must register my router with one of them.  But these sites seem to be registering a HOST, and presumes I can run their program in the background to keep things updated.

I must be  going down the wrong path here.  Can someone help my thinking here.

Hi

You can also use the remoterig ddns (ddns.remoterig.com) if you set it up in the RRC or the RC-1216H. It will work in the same way as if you set up a DynDns account in the router

Do you mean just enter ddns.remoterig.com in the SIP Contact field.  It defies me how this would work.
If not, can you provide a reference?
