[QUOTE="4tothefloor, post: 624669, member: 316098"] Update: I managed to fix the problem of not being able to access the box using the ddns address. I did it by modifying the 'hosts' file on my pc C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts I did it by following this _http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/loopback_connections.html 1. Configure port forwarding Checked my ports and as far as I could see they are fine (see above) 2. Check security settings Checked my router for Security Settings - couldn't find any settings relating to security or NAT redirection or loopbacks. 3. Modify your HOSTS file Took this option. Used the following code: 192.168.x.x xxxxx.dlinkddns.com # dreambox I can access it now - can anyone confirm if I've done this right? Cheers :cool: [/QUOTE]
