Have toshiba cable modem supplied by bright house networks and Netgear 614 router. Registered for dyndns but cannot communicate with router over the internet even though set router to allow remote management. Need to access home automation controller on the network from internet. Locally all works fine set up port forwarding on router to home automation. The router gives a different ip address to log in with compared to what dyndns shows when i browse to it from IE on a local computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks:confused:

how are you trying to access the router, through web browser?

I think you might have a dynamic ip address, which means it changes everyday.

Thanks, yes it is a dynamic ip address I joined dyndns as the router supports this. Trted accessing through a web browser no luck. The router gives a Wan address that is different to that when I use IE and check the IP address on a siite. The IP address seems to be updating okay.

Thanks
