How to use "Custom dynamic dns updater"?

[wyf51888]

As in my another thread, Dyndns fails for me, and neither CJB nor NO-IP website is even accessible.
So, I've got to try dns other than these 3..... But "custom" seems a little fuzzy for me, is it in different format for each dns service?
Could anybody please give me some instruction?

Or, any other good dns available?

Thanks.

Hi wyf51888,

Make sure to go through the usual round of verifying the account information and hostname are entered correctly in HFS.  Also, have you tried and experienced the same issue with DynDns's update client at http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/windows.html ?

I'm at work right now so I can't poke around my own HFS to offer further assistance.

Thanks for the response.

I just tried Dyndns Updater, I got:
Last update---never
Current IP address---unknown....refresh IP doesn't fix it.

I have an external dynamic IP, but at the same time a few other ones: another network adapter connecting to my 2nd computer, and a virtual adapter HAMACHI IP.(5.125.xxx.xxx).

System: XP sp3.

Now I have a Dns service refreshing IP fine, using its "Cn99qdns.exe" updater. Is this "QDNS" another type different from DNS?
