Hey Guys,
I put together a small guide to reserving an IP address for ReefAngel use. This guide will work nicely with my other guide (found here : http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1190 ) Enjoy ![]()

I was wondering if you could help me with this.
So far I have my wifi set up. I can see it on my web page xxxxxxxxxx:2000 and in my windows gadget. I have had some trouble setting up port forwarding. I have a noip account and when i enter my domain name in my router setting it rejects my details saying either the host name does not exist or the password and username are incorrect. When i look my port up on canyouseeme (i leave my ip as is and change the port to 2000) i get the message "success, I can see your service". I am stuck with what to do next. My modem is a netgear cable gateway CG3100 D2 menu set up is this (looks very similar to the menu in the guide). Setup -Basic settings -Wireless settings -Wi-Fi miltimedia -Guest Network Content filtering -logs -block sites -Services Maintenence -gateway status -connection -set password -Backup -event log -diagnostics Advanced -MAC filtering -Dynamic DNS -port blocking -port forwarding -pord triggering -DMZ host -LAN ip -Remote management -UPnP -static routes -ALG -NAT mode -WAN backup |

I don't have much experience with noip, but can try -
Where are you putting in the username and password? They should be entered in the Dynamic DNS section of your modem. It might be a good idea to make sure (google) that your modem will work with a noip host. I use dyndns - it's $20 a year and you could theoretically split the cost with someone as you get up to 30 hosts per account |
I'm not sure how, but it is working. I guess I didn't need to set up port forwarding.
I used my home ip followed by :2000 and the webpage, windows gadget and reef angel client all work. If i can see this from work, i will be able to see it from anywhere in the world? |

Yes that is correct. The reason to use a dynamic DNS service is if your ISP uses dynamic ip addresses (as opposed to static), then your home IP address will constantly change. |

What do you mean you use 2000 "and the webpage" that might be where im stuck.
