I have been working with Pete to get this fixed. He seems to think it is my DNS service which is not working?
Pete I am over in my head with this stuff ie. you say execute echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf and no matter what I put into the Execute a Linux command: I get nothing except it is running it?? FYI I am working on a Mac desktop and the execute echo you give is not clear what I copy paste. Do the quotes and >> get pasted?
When doing the following instructions my DYNS service is operating?
1- Go to the location you are trying to access. You must be using a computer
that is connected to the network you wish to remotely access.
2- Log into your account at http://Dyn.com, navigate to the service in question
and note the IP of your host.
3- Open a new tab and go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ This will display the
public IP address of your current location (the location you wish to access).
4- If the IP address of the location you wish to access (3) matches the address configured in the Dyn interface (2) then your DNS service is working correctly.
However I notice that in the HS Ethernet setting [after unchecking the Enable DHCP (Automatically assign IP address)] that MY DNS (NameServer) IP Address is not the same as the DYN address I get in step 2 above.
And when I replace the MY DNS (NameServer) IP Address in Homeseer with my DYNS IP it won't stick after the restart and reverts back to the address of my ATT modem/gateway. Why? The 8.8.8.8 stuck in my earlier efforts.
Pete is the purpose of me purchasing a static DNS address from DYN to allow access to my network from the outside because the ATT Modem/Gateway regularly changes its address and is not static therefore not letting me have remote access? If so is there a less expensive approach??
I use Haiku to get into my Omni Pro II while off site using this DNS address and it is successful so why isn't this a test that my DNS service is working??
