ApexDC++ and Dynamic IP's 1) Go to http://www.dyndns.org 2) Sign up for a free account 3) Go to My Services 4) Add host 5) Add Dynamic DNS Host 6) Enter a name for the host and pick an address (none are better than others really, altho I use dyndns.org) 7) Leave the IP address field as it is, Wildcards and mail exchanger are also unimportant (unless you feel you'll use them) as is backup MX 8) If you are on a router, enter these details into your router, alternatively download the DynDNS Client and use it. 9) Install the client and use the wizard to set it up (easy really - if you get stuck reply here and i'll let you know) 10) Finally put your host name into DC under the WANIP box in connection settings. 11) Check that you have "Don't allow hub/UPnP to override" Enabled 12) Check that you have "Auto-Update IP on startup" Disabled
