Can someone give help/advice on the following problem relating to
dynamic IP addresses?
I have a PC on my LAN with Owncloud installed. (It's a fun product - it
solved a problem with sharing a calendar between 2 PCs immediately,
whereas I couldn't get DaviCal to work at all).
I have a domain, gemmill.name, and I have created a sub-domain,
share.gemmill.name.
I want family and friends to be able to type www.share.gemmill.name and
get access to Owncloud.
My router can do port-forwarding but my external IP address is dynamic.
I've heard about an organisation called NoIP.com. I can down-load a bit
of their software that monitors the current IP address the rouuter's
connected to. The problem is they want to associate it with one of their
domain names; the default is ggemmill.ddns.net and there are many
options, but gemmill.name doesn't figure among them!
So: is there a way to make ggemmill.ddns.net equivalent to
share.gemmill.name?
(I don't know if it's relevant, but the gemmill.name domain is managed
by 1and1.co.uk who also provide my IMAP mail service; the actual ISP
provider is talktalk. Perhaps the answer is to transfer management to
NoIP.com, but I'm happy with 1and1).
TIA
Graeme
