Dynamic DNS like DnyDNS

Hi!
I've got an Apple Airport Extreme and I need really urgently a service like dynDNS.org. I've got a MobileMe Account as well. The Only thing which is running is my Airport Extreme and one network camera and I need access to the camera. My IP will be change during the day, because it's a normal home dsl account.
How can I configure my Airport and ? (Me?) to get via a dns name the current IP of my home DSL network? Please help.
thanks a lot.
best regards
Steffen

can't really help here, but i would be interested in watching this thread for replies.
from what i read, only the newest airport extreme (mc340ll) and time capsule (mc343ll) will support dyndns. so if you have one of those, then i imagine it would be easy.
if you have an older one, then dyndns wouldn't be supported i think. unless you put the airport extreme in bridge mode and had another router on top of it

How to get Back To My Mac 'like' features with Dynamic DNS

Hi folks. I recently purchased a new NetGear ProSafe Gigabit VPN Firewall (FVS318G) that theoretically supports UPnP (but clearly it does not). I know it does not work because even other applications that make use of UPnP don't work and believe me I've tried EVERYTHING including punching holes for all the right ports through the FireWall... ZIPPO! BTW their (NetGear's) technical support is abysmal. They really don't care... AT ALL.
Even if I make all the correct ports available through the firewall B2MM just says NAT-PNP / UPnP is not available and that B2MM won't work. I suppose it does not even try to see if the ports are available and open despite UPnP not responding. Kinda dumb if that is how Apple has it programmed.
So I'm wondering if it's possible to get access to my home network close to the same way B2MM would give me via assignment of a dynamic DNS name through maybe and some programming of the ports and services on my FireWall.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this. I think I have all the pieces I just need to know how to assemble them.

If you have gotten a free dyndns domain name and have installed the dyndns updater application, then you need to enable file sharing in your Mac and port forward port 548 through your router to your Mac. I'm not on Snowie at the moment, so don't know if the security stuff in Sys Prefs Firewall is the same -- if so make sure that "allow only essential applications" is NOT selected. Then from a computer outside your home network, in Finder under Go, and select Connect to Server afp://yourPersonal.dyndns.com
Your home computer should then mount as a remote drive on your "outside-the-home-network" computer. I am pretty sure that username and password are encrypted during negotiation of the afp connection, but I don't think subsequent data transfers are. It is possible to "tunnel" the afp connection through an encrypted secure shell tunnel for total security, but that can be a "step two"
once you have demonstrated afp through the router.

Dynamic DNS (via DHCP) out of the box?

Greetings!
I was just wondering... Does OS X support Dynamic DNS updates out of the box?
I can't seem to find any confirmation if 10.5 uses bootpd (which I think it does), and if bootpd supports dynamic DNS updates with the named service built into Leopard Server. There don't seem to be any options in Server Admin to enable this... So I'm a little hazy as how to enable dynamic DNS without compiling my own version of ISC-DHCP.
Just for clarification here; what I'm looking for is the ability to update a DNS zone with a PTR/A record(s) of machines that send a hostname as a part of retrieving a IP address from a DDNS-enabled DHCP server. Ie, "mybox" requests IP from DHCP server, DHCP server updates "mydomain.tld" with a record for "mybox", so that "mybox.mydomain.tld" is resolvable afterwards by the machines on this subnet.
Cheers,
-SC

This is a strange topic because implementing Dynamic DNS on Mac OS X Server looks like it should be child's play... so why hasn't Apple done it? Could it simply be that Apple sees no need for it at this time? Mac OS X clients don't need it to sit happy with a Mac OS X Server. Neither do Windows clients using a Mac OS X Server PDC.
Apple has implemented Dynamic DNS client support into the Active Directory Plug-in in Leopard. In this environment, of course, the client's DNS server is most likely to be an Active Directory-integrated DNS server which happily support DDNS. Unfortunately this Dynamic DNS facility is not immediately available to those not using the Active Directory plug-in.

LAP dynamic DNS record

Hi,
I'm facing some issues to populate dynamically DNS record of APs. The IPs addressing of APs are configured via DHCP servers (MS). The DHCP server is not configured to register automatically record against DNS (MS on the same server); as said by system administrator. The problem is that some APs record are populated on the DNS and some not (even in the same subnet).
So the question is : Does LAP supports DDNS or the record needs to be done by the DHCP ?
Thanks a lot
Vincent

Does it simply check AP reachability or will that collect information via SNMP from AP directly.
If SNMP, this will simply duplicate monitoring (as you already doing it via PI) & could impact the AP performance.
I would simply give "read-only" view to Prime & briefing them what/how to look something on Prime.
Not sure how many AP you got, we have close to 2K & I do not want to administer anything like what you are going to do.

RV320 Dynamic DNS failing

I have an RV320 I am testing in order to determine if it's suitable for use in the company I work for. We have several remote offices, and will be using IPSEC tunnels, VPN for IT troubleshooting and other features.
Dynamic DNS is returning
"Authorization failed(username or password)." error, although I think it's properly configured and works on
error, although I think it's properly configured and works on other firewall/router units. I have reentered the user, password and domain several times, each time it returns the same error.
Can anyone provide insight into the problem?
I also notice the options do not seem to include any way to use a Custom DNS, that is instead of xxx.dyndns.org it would be myhost.TLD. We have a bunch of xxx.dyndns.org, but do have a few myhost.tld. I hope this is something that could be fixed.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
I think that the issue is that the PW is too long. I recall a case a while back where a customer had a passord over 20 characters and he had to shorten it. My recollection is not great, but I think that 18 was the limit. A feature request was made to lengthen the password field but no change was made due to hardware or maybe OS limitation. I think that the router was the RV042, which has similar code to the RV320. Sorry I can't be more specific. I would try changing the password at least temporarily to see if it works.
If you would like to make a feature request, please call support and open a case.

Cisco SRP 540 Series Router custom Dynamic DNS

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a possibility to get my homepage provider's custom dynamic DNS service working on my Cisco SRP541W Router as I'd not like to be forced to sign up for either DynDNS or TZO which are available through the web frontend.

Hi there,
Sorry for the delay in replying to this. Must have missed it the first time around.
Anyway, I'm afraid the only DDNS providers supported natively by the SRP500 platform are DynDNS and TZO. Having said that, many if not most DDNS providers either have or support the use of a client running on a device behind the router, so that might be a workaround for you. There are a few open sourced generic clients out there that are pretty versatile as well.
Cheers,
Dave.

FIOS and Dynamic DNS

I'm thinking about switching from Verizon DSL to FIOS, but I have a few concerns.
Right now I am able to directly connect form my linux-based router to the DSL modem via PPPoE. If for some resaon the PPP link drops the router just re-establishes it, and it always knows my outside IP. It can also update my multiple dyanamic DNS addresses automatically when this happens. My DSL IP address seems to change only when I shut down my router - it lasts weeks at a time.
With FIOS it sounds like you are forced to use NAT with the supplied router. I can go ahead and disable wireless on it, and then just set up my own router to use a static IP and put it in the DMZ to get as close to a bypass as I can. However, if my outside IP changes my internal router isn't going to know about it, and won't be able to update my dynamic DNS/etc. It looks like the FIOS routers will update dynamic DNS addresses, but I'm not sure if they support namecheap, and I also don't know if they support updating more than one dynamic DNS service when my IP changes.
It also sounds like they cut the copper connection, so if it doesn't work out right it will be very hard to go back to DSL.
Does anybody know:
1. Will the supplied router update more than one dynamic DNS service automatically?
2. Will the supplied router update a namecheap hosted dynamic DNS record?
3. When updating a namecheap DNS record will it only touch the A record and not mess with all my other DNS settings?
4. Can I somehow configure the router to provide my external IP to a single internal computer via DHCP (ie router gets an address from verizon, and then the router offers that address to my own router)? Obviously this won't work with more than one computer on the router.
5. Can I alternatively connect to the verizon-provided router using PPPoE or a similar protocol to just get my external IP directly tunneled through the router?
6. Does a FIOS TV standard definition tuner box require a network connection?
7. What happens if the tuner it isn't connected to the network? I won't be using any kind of interactive services anyway since the tuners will just be connected to my DVR.
8. Does the network connection have to be on the same subnet as the verizon-provided router, or is it sufficient that it be able to reach that router or the internet via NAT (there would be a NAT layer between my internal network and the verizon-powered router)?
9. If this stuff doesn't end up working right, can I just pull the plug on FIOS and go back to Verizon DSL and POTS?
In case it isn't clear, here is how I envision the network looking:
Verizon - Verizon Router - NAT with My Router in the DMZ - My Router - NAT - My internal network
I guess if I get really desperate I could try to find a tunnel broker of some kind - not sure if anybody does that for IPv4 the way it is done for IPv6. That would allow me to get my external IP through the NAT and potentially give me a static one as well...
I REALLY don't want to pay an extra $50 for a static IP. I'd probably just stick with the DSL if it came to that even though it is actually more expensive than switching (for dynamic service) and it is a lot slower...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hmm - that idea might not actually work out all that well. It might or might not work at all, but one thing that it would probably do is make it impossible to access the router's web interface (since the router wouldn't have an IP address of its own on any of the ports). So, if it did work it would be a once-and-done configuration and then I'd need to reset it to do anything else with it. This would also make it impossible to attach set-top-boxes directly to the actiontec router, but then again they'd be only one NAT layer away from verizon if I attached them to my home network.
I suspect I might be better off with the DMZ approach and just living with a single dynamic dns entry. The main reason I use more than one of those is so that if my IP address changes I don't have to wait for the DNS TTL to run out to find out what the new IP is - I can just wait a few minutes to be safe and resolve one of my other dynamic addresses which won't be cached anywhere so it will get the fresh entry.
I guess my other option is to fire up nslookup and point it directly at the appropriate DNS server so that I"m not seeing a cached response.
I've heard mixed reports on how often the FIOS IPs change anyway. If they only change once in a blue moon I'm not terribly concerned about this stuff.
(Why can't everybody just switch to IPv6 and end all this NAT nonsense anyway...?)

Using Airport Extreme 802.11n to update automatic IP for Dynamic DNS ???

Hello,
does anybody now if it is possible to use Airport to forward the recent IP address to DynDNS.com ? As most routers are able to forward the IP to a provider like DynDns eachtime when IP address is renewed . I have found at the Airport Configruation Utility in the manual configuration the following fields: Button Airport -> Button "Basic Station" next to the field Airport extreme name the Button "config" -> a new pop up opens and at the bottom I am able to activate "dynamic global hostname" and to fill in the user ID + password. But the IP address is not updated at DYNDNS.com
Has anybody experience with Dynamic DNS and Airport extreme ?
Thanks in advance

OS X 10.6.1: bootpd, named, and dynamic DNS zone updates

I have OS X 10.6.1 installed on a Mac Pro. It is configured to be the name server and DHCP server for my home network, i.e. /etc/named.conf and /etc/bootpd.plist have been modified to provide these services.
I've encountered no problems with either the name server or the DHCP component of bootpd after upgrading to OS X 10.6(.1); however, one thing that continues to bug me is how to configure bootpd to dynamically update the DNS zone files whenever a lease is issued, released, or expires.
At work, I use the Internet System Consortium's DHCP software and have it configured to dynamically update DNS whenever leases change state. I would really like to have DNS done the same way at home.
What changes need to be made to /etc/bootpd.plist that would allow dynamic DNS updates to occur?

Did you ever get an answer to this? Would rather not change the DHCP server in Snow Leopard....
Thanks

RV042 Dynamic DNS not updating automatically

I purchased 2 RV042's (h/w version 3) less than two months ago. I updated them to the latest firmware (
v4.0.4.02-tm (Jul 4 2011 13:30:56)), did a factory reset to make sure I was working with a clean slate, set up DDNS through DynDNS and a site to site VPN between the two. Everything was working great for a month, then the DynDNS accounts expired because they weren't being updated.
I reactivated the names on the DynDNS site, and started to monitor the "last updated" date and time. After 24 hours there were no updates according to the DynDNS site. I logged into one of the RV042's, and it said "Dyndns Enabled : Dynamic DNS is updated successfully." This is a stale message from 24 hours ago when I hit save.
So I went into Setup | Dynamic DNS | Edit Config and there it also says "Dynamic DNS is updated successfully." I clicked "Save", status changed to "
Dyndns Enabled : Updating..." for a few seconds, and then back to "Dyndns Enabled : Dynamic DNS is updated successfully". I refreshed the DynDNS website and it shows the current time (in eastern time, i'm pacfic) as the last time it was updated. So it works when I manually hit the "Save" button. Not making any changed, just hitting "Save".
I've let the other RV042 go over 48 hours and it still hasn't updated.
So it apears for the time being, I'll have to remember to push the "Save" button once a week to prevent my DynDNS accout from expiring.
Does anyone have DDNS working in the lastest firmware and h/w version 3? If so, what is the update frequency?
I'd like to hear any suggestions on how I might be able to fix this, or if this needs to be fixed in the next firmware release. Hopefully, I've explained my problem clearly.

Jasbryan,
I am experiencing a problem with DynDns updater too. For me it seems that the updater (after a public IP change or reboot) only tries to update once, and if it failed then gives up and never tries again.
I have to update manually (pushing the update button) which sooner or later succeeds. (Sometimes the first trial is successful, sometimes only the second or third.)
I have an RV042 (v3) with firmware at 4.1.1 and a DynDns Pro subscription.
I have a site-to-site VPN between two RV042s, both with dynamic IP. When the VPN tunnel drops, I usually detect that one of the public IPs has changed and the router for some reason failed to update DynDns. If I do it manually pushing the update button (one or more times), the tunnel comes up of course.
Again, I suspect the problem is with the updater's "strategy" and timing. Should it wait a bit more after detecting a new public IP and retrying in every 5-10 minutes after a failed update attempt it would be more reliable.

How to Configure bootpd to Perform Dynamic DNS Updates

I have been able to get bootpd configured to function as a basic DHCP server. I would now like to configure it to dynamically update DNS forward and reverse zones when leases are assigned, released, or expired.
Does anyone have an example of a bootpd.plist file to configure bootpd for dynamic DNS updates?

Hi,
I am not sure what you are attempting to configure here.
But what the NAT configuration above does is do a Dynamic PAT for all the servers on the "firewall-dmz" to a single IP address towards the "firewall-outbound"
This Dynamic translation doesnt however enable connections to be initiated from behind the "firewall-outbound" interface. When your hosting a server which needs a NAT towards the users then the NAT type has to be Static NAT or Static PAT.
Static NAT will essentially use up one public IP address for just the single local host/server.
Static PAT will do a Port Forward from the public IP address and public port to the local IP and local port. And this is most commonly used with environments which only public IP address is the one that the ASA holds in its WAN interface.
A typical Static NAT configuration is this
static (inside,outside) 1.1.1.1 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.255
Where
inside = is the interface behind which the host is
outside = is the interface towards which the host is NATed
1.1.1.1 = is the public NAT IP address for the host
10.10.10.10 = is the local IP address of the host
A typical Static PAT configuration is this
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 80 10.10.10.10 80 netmask 255.255.255.255
Where
tcp = specifies the protocol for which the Static PAT configured
interface = specifies that we will be using the public IP address of the destination interface "outside" as the public IP address for this single Port Forward.
80 = first "80" specifies the public port visible to users behind the destination interface
80 = second "80" specifies the actual local port on which the local host is listening on
Hope this helps

Dynamic DNS Port Forwarding Set up on Airport Extreme

I just bought the new AEBS and am unable to afp into my computer from outside the network. I use a dynamic DNS service (www.dyndns.org) and have not had trouble in the past, but now it tells me that the server does not exist. What is the trick? I have tried many options in the forum, but with no luck. I am using firmware 7.2.1 (that is what came with the base station). My Internet service is through Verizon and I know that it does not provide port problems since it worked with my Netgear router, I don't have file sharing on for mounted disks (there are none attached) and entered my DYN DNS information in the Bonjour tab. I know this should not be so complicated, but nothing seems to work. For some reason, the base station is using port 548 (i have been told) and tried using another port). Someone please help.

First of all you must install a DDNS Client on the machine you want to access. I don't know if DynDNS has one.
No-ip.com as one. Just create a free account, install and configure the client software. It will transmit the Wan IP of you network to the no-ip servers, then you'll be able to connect IF the port for afp is routed to the correct machine in the AEBS. Here is a link the the ports used by Apple products:

How to set up dynamic dns?

Hi everybody,
could anybody help me to set up Dynamic DNS in the Airport Extreme? I am using Airport Utility 5.5.3
I also have dlink dns service active
Thank You
Manolo Fernández

The following is the basic setup for DDNS on the AirPort using AirPort Utility v5x:
AirPort Utility > Select the base station > Manual Setup >AirPort > Base Station tab > Edit ...
Use dynamic global hostname (checked)
Hostname: <enter your DDNS service domain here>
User: <enter your DDNS user account name>
Password: <enter your DDNS user account password>
Click "Done."
AirPort Utility > Select the base station > Manual Setup > Disks > File Sharing tab > Share disks over the Internet with Bonjour (checked)

How can i configure a dynamic dns at a time machine

Hi All,
I have a time machine at home, with Airport Utility version 6.1.
I'm currently trying to configure a dynamic dns at the airport itself but I don't have any luck in finding the functionality to do so. Couple of questions:
1) Do I really have to install the previous versions 5.6 Airport Utility to configure DDNS?
2) I assume if I can't use the previous versions of Airport Utility then I would need to use a Dynamic Update Client. My No-IP Dynamic Update Client doesn't seem to be running on MAC OS X Mountain Lion. Is there any other developers that provides a domain for free and the DUC is actually working on OS X Mountain Lion? (E.g. I heard that DysDNS doesn't provide an entirely free service anymore)

I think you mean Time Capsule not time machine.. TC is the hardware .. TM is the software backup program in the computer and has nought to do with DDNS.
There is no DDNS client in the TC.. never has been. Apple must have some private system for icloud to work.. but no access is allowed to it by users. As with all things apple it is designed to ensure you are able to use icloud or nothing.
I am not on ML or even Lion.. good old SL is fine to me.. and far better networking.
I presume some of the dyndns providers will offer a client for ML now..
All of the free services are trying to sell you something.. and constantly harras you.. no free lunch in this world.
The easiest method and to escape the upgrade cycle.. just get another router.. almost every router in the world provides several dyndns clients built in. The router is where this should be done. so the computer can stay off. Just bridge the TC and port forward to it. Simple and cheap.
