I am currently trying to set up DDNS on an alien hero DVR.
I have just changed my supplier from virgin to Sky and therefore do not want to pay the 11 quid sky want for a fixed IP address. However, if required i will. Although i have never used the DDNS before, port forwarding etc isnt a problem for me , but i just cant seem to figure the DDNS out.
I have just upgraded all the firmware on the DVR so its now up to date.
http://aliendvr.com/support/quicktips/pdfs/296.pdf This is the PDF i've been using to follow in hope it will work. Unfortunately it doesn't.
For the preferred DNS and gateway it says to use the routers internal IP - i have used 192.168.0.1
I have set up the email and it sent me a password and a web address for the dvr which was - DSV*****.ippostcode.com .
When i put the password into the dvr it said connection was successful. However when i try to log onto it remotely it doesn't work. If i try the address locally on the network it takes me straight to my sky hubs login page. If i try it from outside the network nothing loads.
Am i missing something really simple here ? Any help would be greatly appreciated as alien tech support not open till monday !
Cheers
