Wrong -- you CAN ping a dyndns address. What probably happened is your IP address has changed and your DYNDNS account is out-of-date. That's happened to me a couple times. Make sure you have a DYNDNS client of some sort running on your network and make sure it's able to connect to update your account with your current IP address. Some routers will actually have DYNDNS support built-in. I, personally, don't trust that and run two other clients, one for no-ip.info and one for ZoneEdit.com. That way, I'll *always* have at least one valid account, so long as my DSL connection is up and running. :-)

I have that set up correctly along with port forwarding from my router. However, I recently found out that you can't ping a DynDNS address. I also saw that if you can't ping, RealVNC won't connect. What can I do?
