Have you set up your dyndns to log in? Through your router for example?

[mambule]

thxxx for your quick answer!
yes. tried with my router first; then switched to dyndns-client but didn´t work either. signed up at no-ip and used their client and it´s exactly the same thing, the address updates once a time and then never again and apex uses the old ip. of course i tried it with several reconnects and so on...do i have to open an extra port for the client or do i have to add a certain prefix before my hostname? ftp-server running perfectly on my system...but after some time it is not longer connectable by myself (except with internal lan ip)...but stays connectable for others! somewhere in the web tjis was called "loop-back-problem" or so...
of course i tried also different clients...but none worked (and they´re all ugly in comparison to apex *g)...it slowly gets kinda annoying...
thxxx again for your help!

Apex cannot update IP "on the fly". It does it only on startup and it is intended to be used when your IP changes only during reconnect (which most often is a reboot, hence restart of Apex).

thank you very much for your answer! this prevented more nervous breakdowns to come ...so in fact there is possibility to have your ip updated once it has changed?
hmmm...i know i will be beaten for this question but: is there another dc-client that is capable to handle dynamic dns properly? although i´d like to use apex further on...
so far, thxxx for your help and have a nice day (night?)...

your dyndns address will need a prefix.

Something like

apexdc.dyndns.org

it will be whatever you signed up as your hostname when you created your account.

Also, it will update your ip on the fly when it has an application to allow you, or your router, which router are you using?

[mambule]

thxxx for your answer.
yes of course i have a prefix of this kind....xxxxxx.mine.nu
i´m using speedport w700v and actually it has the feature to update my ip via dyndns...as i said it works perfectly for my ftp...at the moment i´m using the dydns-client and this works too.
only apex updates the ip exactly one time...after i filled in my hostname in wan-address field...but if my ip changes again it doesn´t update anymore and i get "your client delivered wrong ip...".
it seems crazy...impossible and i´m really running mad...

Make sure update ip on startup is NOT checked and also allow Dont allow hub/upnp to override IS checked.

Also, log into dyndns.org and check your ip is currently up to date.

finally found the error! i had crappy dns-servers in my internet connection data and they didn´t work properly! changed them...now everything works fine!
this could be a problem of more people asking for help concerning dyndns...

I tried it but it still doesn't work for me.Any help ?

[Satan]

Where doesn't it work? Explain what you have done so far? It may help us identify your error

[Corey]

I puted my dns in that tool, and it again doesn't update my ip, so I again have  to manually add my ip.
If I wanna try via router, where exacly I should put that in ?

[Satan]

Your router should have a DNS section if it supports such a feature....

BTW, you need a DNS update tool, not just to log into the website.

[Zlobomir]

One of these tools is called the DUC client.

dyndns.org isn't free for new accounts anymore...
I'll try no-ip.com
