RR DDNS Database not working for me

[n6xi]

I followed the instructions on pages 58-59 of Rev. A32 of the manual "Remoterig dynamic dns service" to set up the Dynamic DNS settings page of my Remote RRC." I got an Own host name string of xxxxxxxx.ddns.remoterig.com and a Username and Password. When I attempt to use this string as the SIP contact string on the Control RRC, it fails to connect. If I use the actual external IP address, the RRCs connect and function properly. Using the Web site ddns status tester, I get "xxxxxxxx not found!" Is the xxxxxxxx... string formed locally? If so, how do I get it into the database? What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks & 73,
Rick N6XI

Hi check your status page in the Radio-RRC, I guess you will see that the DNS  fails and the DNS function need to work otherwise the DDNS will not be updated. Probably the DNS ip number is not correct.

The DDNS databas post for your RRC will be created automatically when the RRC connect, you do not need to do any manual registration

Rick,

You can also verify when it last updated at: http://ddns.remoterig.com/status/

Mike, the DNS status page for the Remote RRC reports "OK, remoterig.com = 193.202.110.185"

Mitch, http://ddns.remoterig.com/status/ reports only "xxxxxxxx not found!"

Hi Rick,

This is another tool that you can use to determine when a problem began to occur,
since the RRC messages are sometimes cryptic. In your case, it indicates that it
never worked to begin with.

I have the same problem. Everything is ok with dyndns, but with RR DDNS doesn't work.

At the DDNS remoterig status web, appears updated in August 2012, but since then, my IP has changed, but this change is not updated (I don't know why).

It's because your RRC have not updated the DDNS database. Probably because the DNS ip is wrong if you look at the status page in the Radio-RRC you will probably see the reason.

Thanks Mike:

I tried with several DNS IP's and with the same result with all of them.

If the DNS IP was wrong, I vas be able to connect with dyndns? Why is everything OK with dyndns and not with Remoterig DDNS?

You do not say what the status page says

Also let us know if you are using a fixed internal IP address, or DHCP. I think I have found a
bug with fixed IP addresses and DNS servers, so I can let Mike know and give you a work
around if this is the case. If you are using DHCP, then I guess you have a router problem.

You don't say what status page do you want to know (Radio side or Control side) and you don't answer to my last two questions...

Thanks Mitch: I'm using fix internal IP in both sides...I can try DHCP at control side, but I can't try it at Radio side because I'm using DMZ.

Thanks
