I registered my IP with DynDNS, but as soon as my IP changed my I couldn't access my FTP server or remotely access my PC!
Am I misunderstanding how DynDNS works? I thought if I gave them my IP they would route all traffic to the name I picked, therefore not really needing to know what my current IP was.
Please explain.
Thanks. |

go to your DynDNS account setting and choose the option Dynamic IP

Sorry to be such a moron, but where exatcly is that option? I looked but didn't find anything.
Another thing, when I logged onto my account it had my current IP listed and it was right, does that mean it's working properly? |

Another thing. Since it just had my current IP correct does that mean it's working? And how long should it take DynDNS to 're route' traffic after my IP changes ? Minutes? Hours? |

DNS information is cached at the DNS servers. It can take a while for it to expire and get refreshed.

Did you set up one of the client programs that notifies DynDns that your IP has changed? I set up DeeEnEs. You need something to tell DynDns that your IP has changed. |
