Lee I have already got Dynamic DNS Host set.
And my router supports it also.

However the IP address that the dynamic DNS uses should it be for my PC, My router or the Temp IP my ISP Provides me.

Then from my Laptop when Im on the road should the incoming mail server be my mailservers IP?

Temp IP your ISP provides you mate - its your external IP address - everything else is internal/local.!!!

The whole point of having Dynamic DNS is to use your own PC for server functions - i.e email etc

So if that what you're doing your incoming mail server should be your main computers IP address or DNS address that you've registered (hence dynamic dns)!!

HTH!

So.


Dynamic Host Name - Temp Int IP Address - My Router.

How would my outlook know how to use the DNS Name. Stuck here now.

Your outlook should be able to resolve the Dynamic DNS name through your ISPs DNS server.

Right. So. Im on another PC and through the web if I wack in my DNS Name in I get to my PC's Webserver home page. Can I access files this way also as. Now if I type in the DNS name in incoming mail route nothing happens.

Sorry bout the questions.
