Dynamic DNS Service "willjay" <willjay[ at ]excite.com> 6/3/2007 3:58:59 PM Hi, I have a win2k advanced server on a static ip. I have 10-15 pc's on the internet with dynamic ip's. Reading about the Dynamic DNS Service I don't quite understand is this a feature by which I can find out the ip of the remote pc's. If so can someone please point me a document that will let me: 1) setup the w2k advanced server Dynamic DNS Service 2) enable the services on the remotes. W2k, XP Vista. Help appreciated. Jimmy PS if there is a better group please don't hesitate to send me there.

Those that are built-into Windows and require "AD Integrated Secure Updates ONLY" to be secure and those run by Internet Dynamic DNS Services which use special software and passwords (instead of domain machine accoun t authentication) to be secure. > 1) setup the w2k advanced server Dynamic DNS Service > 2) enable the services on the remotes.

Most of the time you would solve such problems by using a commerical (or free but public) Dynamic DNS company, i.e., dyndns.com or something similar. -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP http://www.LearnQuick.Com (phone on web site)
