http://isp23976.dns.openweb.co.za/

This works much better as it doesn't use a silly client. big_smile

I'm running WinXP Home.

Opened the web page and typed in my IP. I don't mind paying for the couple of KB use to load the webpage or that an update client uses. But my server is for file sharing, and the international bandwidth is way too expensive for that.

BTW - It seems I get a gig of free international bandwidth at the beginning of each month on that connection. smile

Currently the dynamic DNS client connects through the international IP and updates with that address. But the port forwarding that you are referring to, I deliberately did not set up on that IP because I'm paying much more for bandwidth used through that connection.

Can you connect through, from your local machine, to that other server/client on the international I.P without getting shafted for connection charges?

I have two internet connections. One that can access only local (South African) sites and one that can access international sites as well. I want to update an international dynamic DNS server with the local only IP address. I cannot connect to the DNS server through the local only IP address.

Currently the dynamic DNS client connects through the international IP and updates with that address. But the port forwarding that you are referring to, I deliberately did not set up on that IP because I'm paying much more for bandwidth used through that connection.

Here in SA were are seriously starved of bandwidth. International traffic costs about 10 times more than local.

Anyone know of a Dynamic DNS client that will detect and send the IP from another connection and not the one  through which it is connecting to the DNS Server?

You need to set up a port forward on your router to forward port 80, (or whichever port you are using), to the internal machine. Sending the I.P address of the internal machine would be useless, in most cases, as it will be an internal I.P which is being NAT'ted on the firewall/router.

If you are referring to a totally separate connection, then you can use an update client for most of the dynamic DNS services, to update the I.P periodically, or when it changes.
