Hi,
I think I can help here. I believe your dyndns is working. you
should try having a friend look you up and make sure IP resolves
properly. That's step one in the multipart maze.
So, if your domain resolves, to your ISP's assigned IP, the next step
is ports. Most ISPs that offer residential service block common
critically useful ports like 80 and state in their user agreements
you may not run a server like a web server. That said, dyndns can
redirect port 80 to say 81 and bypass thsi security on of an ISP.
Assuming your ISP is not blocking the port in question, or you have
business service, the router is the next step and a DMZ should work
to your local NATR'ed Mac. However, your Mac OS has a firewall too,
and you should verify that this is not causing your problem.
If you'd like to send me your domain and IP offline, I'll look it up
from here and tell you what my port scan tells me about yoru system.

Hi all,
Well, this problem has been bugging me for a while now. My router is
DMZed. Yet, when I sign up with dyndns.org and download it's
updater, people still can't connect to whatever is running. I try
and run nicecast, and it's automattic thing doesn't work so rather
than forwarding ports I just DMZed my router to see if that would
fix the problem. DMZing turns off the firewall, so guess not.
Forwarding ports would probably come up with the same results.
So yeah, just wondering how to fix this? This also happened when I
was running windows.
