Networking :: Networking Dns help :|

No-IP's dynamic IP client is infintely easier to use for a newbie. DynDNS clients can be a bit touchy.

As far as specifying virtual hosts and the like, it's not necessary for a single site. Just put your pages in htdocs and make sure that your router/firewall directs incoming port 80 traffic to your machine and everything should be golden (monkey runs on port 80, right?).

If you're ever in a pinch for a nameserver and can't remeber the ones supplied by your ISP, use one of the root servers. ISP's may block requests to competitors nameservers but I haven't run across one yet that blocked any of the root nameservers, besides, blocking nameservers is kinda stupid and self-defeating anyways (unless to prevent DNS cache poisioning, etc.)

I tend to use 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2, no particular reason why, just always do. Just like I always ping google.com to make sure the network's up.

I will test this dsl extension :
