Local lookup not working : what to do ?
Hello,
I set up an account at dyndns.org so I can ssh to my desktop computer using "ssh mydomain.dyndns.org" on the command line when away from home.
It works except when I'm at home and I try to access the desktop computer from my netbook via the wifi. In this case I just get "connection refused".
It seems local lookup (is it what it's called ?) doesn't work with my router, so when I'm at home I have to use the local IP address : "ssh 192.168.1.128".
But to avoid confusions I would like to be able to use the dyndns domain from home too.
What's the correct way to do this ?
I thought of configuring my wireless network manager so it would execute a script when connecting to my home network and modify the /etc/hosts file so mydomain.dyndns.org points to my local ip address. And then undo the change when disconnecting from the network. But it seems a bit cumbersome to me for such a simple task.
Any advice ?
Thanks.

It seems weird that the laptop can't just keep using the same domain name. That is, assuming your netbook does have access to the external internet via the wifi and is correctly resolving external domain names.
Can you confirm that the netbook can ping mydomain.dyndns.org?
Yes the netbook can resolve the domain name. But I tried using the WAN IP from the netbook when at home and it doesn't work either. Only the LAN IP seems to work at home. Ping to mydomain.dyndns.org works, but I can't access any of the servers on my desktop computer using this DNS.
I thought of using ssh profiles but I also have other servers (web, transmission web client) on the desktop computer that I would like to access using mydomain.dyndns.org.

I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
so i'm using the usb mouseI want to clarify the issue.
The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
Post here with your results!! -

I am trying to log on to iwork but it keeps saying that my password is incorrect. I have already reset it and entered my new password and it still is not working. what should i do?
I really can't comprehend the logic that leads to believe that password for old apple id will come to e-mail for new id. Buy may be I just misunderstood something. Contact Apple for assist with password retrieval. If you can verify yourself as account owner they may be able to help you.

SemakoYuu can try to reactivate your iSight camera by opening up iMessage.. navigate to Preferences/Audio Video,and then click on Camera. IT shoudl be grayed-out if you only have one camera hooked up to your machine. If you have an external camera, then disconnect it from your machine.

My phone died last night and when I plugged it in it wouldn't turn on.I tried restarting it but it has yet to turn on since last night,It was just a black screen,i try the on/off and home buttons together but its not working,What should I do?
How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

Hae you tried to do a hard reset of your phone? This will not lose any data. Hold the sleep/wake button and the home button until the phone turns off ignoring any slide to power off messages. Then power the phone back on.
