hello,
I have a few questions on how to basically access a specific machine in
a network from the web. I have registered with dyndns.org and got
ddclient running to provide the ip address, but the only thing I can now
connect to is my network router ;) which is pretty useless. How would it
be possible o change the setup for a machine within the smaller
home-network? Does that have to do with the setup on dyndns or in the
config file of ddclient?
I can paste its content if needed, any advice and tips would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,

This doesn't have anything to do with ddclient or dyndns, as long as the dns
entry is pointing to the right ip then it's doing all it should.
Your router should provide the ability to configure port forwarding to
machines in your LAN. Simply configure it to forward traffic on whatever
ports you want to use to the clients which are serving those ports. The
router may also provide a DMZ function which will forward all incoming
traffic to a specific machine on your LAN, although this may possible make
the machine vulnerable to security exploits.
You'll have to read the documentation that came with the router or search
google in order to configure it appropriately as the configuration details
differ between manufacturers and models.
hm ok, but lets say for instance my machines hostname is "mymachine",
its port is 'xxxx' and the address which points to the router is
"myaddress.dyndns.org": what would be for example the ssh command to
connect to that particular machine? I know its a bit of a stupid
question, but I can't picture what this would look like/how it would
work. I must saz understanding these network issues really is a bit
tricky for me at the moment,
thanks for your help anyway,
Karsten
