what do you mean "ping and get a sensible name back"? where are you pinging from? what is a "sensible name" (usually you get your isp's default address like n.n.n.n-adsl.paradise.net.nz which is meaningless to you.) for example from my office machine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ ping rout.dyndns.org PING rout.dyndns.org (202.0.40.71) 56(84) bytes of data. >From gateway.rout.co.nz (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=1 Redirect Host(New nexthop: ipcop.rout.co.nz (192.168.1.253)) 64 bytes from 202-0-40-71.adsl.paradise.net.nz (202.0.40.71): icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=99.6 ms 64 bytes from 202-0-40-71.adsl.paradise.net.nz (202.0.40.71): icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=86.5 ms 64 bytes from 202-0-40-71.adsl.paradise.net.nz (202.0.40.71): icmp_seq=3 ttl=60 time=86.9 ms from inside your network run dig you.no-ip.org OR host you.no-ip.org OR nslookup you.no-ip.org and compare it to the address that your router reports itself as having. you should be able to get that from your router's web interface. > However, I can't access anything behind the > router.
