Hello
I don't know about hostway.com as I use zoneedit for my dynamic dns but it pretty easy to do but you need to discribe your system for more detailed help
dial-up
dsl
cable
modem
router
firewall
how is your sme box setup
basic info to read
internet must get to your sme box - hub router somehow
dynamic dns service needs to be updated when your ip address changes - there are several ways to get this done
do you have the domain name yet it looks like hostway dones't do dynamic dns to me
name your box this will depend on what dydns service you us
zoneedit it doesn't matter dydns it does
example !!!
box.domain.com
ip address 192.168.1.10
go to zoneedit get an account first 5 domains free
setup your domain name and get the dns server names & ip addresses write it down you will need to change your name server info wherever you got your domain name I use namesforever.com
or aplus networks cheap and easy great support and web access to make any changes
you will need your current dyn ip address to get this started working
zoneedit example !!!
www domain.com 123.123.123.123 this is your dynamic ip
ftp domain.com same ip address
mail domain.com same ip address
if you use different servers for www ftp mail you have to port forward from your router or gateway
a sme server can act as a gateway if you install 2 network cards
and it is a simple way to do what you want but can cause a heavy load if it has to do everything
PS
there are contribs to make your sme box update dydns or zoneedit
hope this is some help
Greg
