When I log on to the server using a string like this


the logon is OK. But since I have a dynamic IP, I have set up a dynamic DNS, and I usee this to logon:

which is forwarded to
I get the logonpage from default.htm from my computer. When I click the CONNECT button, then I reach the connect.asp file. But connect.asp does not like the supplied server which is mydomain.com. If I enter the WAN-IP-address in the server-field, 80.200.50.100 then I can login. But the problem is that the IP-address may change any time. I have given my server a name like the domain name, but it does not help.

Is there a way around the problem? Can I add some code in connect.asp so that the WAN-ip is picked up? Or?

Hope you can help - OJF
 
Unless I am missing something here, there is no way that a DNS or DDNS record is going to include your port assignment.

Some DDNS providers will permit a port forwarding service, and you should investigate if your DDNS will do so for you. But the specifications for a DNS A or CNAME record do not permit the inclusion of port information.
