Topic: DynDns Settings

[smallstool]

Your server name can be anything of your choice.
Your server's main domain name must match the dynamic host domain name you created at dyndns.

Neither of those settings will have anything to do with "connection refused".

All non-functioning SME server software should be reported via the bug tracker.

Domain name and password matches the dynamic host domain name I created at dyndns - it just does not work - I paid and changed from easydns to dyndns so I could get this to work (so I thought).

This has been posted loads of times on the bug trackers see:

Neither of those says anything about "connection refused". They are different issues.

So open a bug report then, providing full details.

try this
login with putty with user admin

and change dyndns to commercial not free

maybe this help
 i dont know why but if you change 2-3 times  commercial to  free and free to commercial then work....

Thanks for the suggestion jdmgr I fixed it by installing ddclient:

sme7-ddclient-3.6.7-8.noarch.rpm

Got it from http://smeserver.free.fr - it works a treat!

> I fixed it by installing ddclient:

Which is what I suggested in this thread way back on 28 August !

But...., doing that doesn't help Charlie resolve any potential bugs in the code.
If there is a problem with sme server ie something doesn't work as it should, please report a bug, as by not doing so you are only helping to prolong the problem.

hi guys, I am having a similar problem, except my IP address updates at DynDNS but my domain (one24chaffey.ath.cx) doesnt resolve from outside my network!

i have tried hitting my server using just my IP address, but that doesnt work either, maybe I am posting in the wrong topic but i'm not sure what else to do.

I have been using this in-built updater for a few years now on telstra and ncable broadband accounts and i'm only having problems now that i'm with Optus, I have spoken to their tech people who have assured me that they do not block any incomming ports, but that's what it seems like is happening.

any help is appreciated.

Cheers

If you are using Optus cable, they DO block ports ie port 80 & others.
