[Not sure if my post will be double]

Greetings,


As I'm new to ClearOs (which I love so far) i've been looking for the solution to a problem that forced me to use this operating system. We are looking for a external mysql database for our company (we are required by law to do this), however I would like to link the server to [COMPANY].poweredbyclear.com. I've been reading all over the internet about Dynamic DNS and other forum posts and to be honest I got confused. Is there anyone here that can help us? I've put everything I think you need beneath. If more information is required, I'm happy to respond.


You have my thanks.

I'll delete your other post.

It looks like you have activated your ClearOS DDNS to company.poweredbyclear.com (sic) which is fine. This will always track your external IP address.

192.168.0.0/24 and 1923.168.1.0/24 are not brilliant choices for a LAN subnet and are best avoided. The will work but could give you VPN issues if you ever use OpenVPN. They can also give other oddball issues when connecting in other equipment as they are too common defaults.

What is 192.168.0.13? Presumably ClearOS in Standalone mode? Any you have a router at 192.168.0.1? Have you turned off the DHCP server in the router? You should not have 2 running on the LAN.

Also you generally don't allow the the whole subnet for DHCP, reserving a block for static IP's.

If the page you are trying to access is in ClearOS, then have you port forwarded tcp:80 and tcp:443 though your router?

    You sir, just saved my weekend.

    What have I done that you mentioned:
    I changed the IP Address of the ClearOS server to an address past the 100 mark.
    I have changed the Forward ports.
    I have switched DHCP to STATIC on the CLEAROS (I was testing this first before I changed in the router, but its works)


    Thank you so much!

    Ooh, Patrick, I have indeed forgotten to post my question.

    With these settings, I'm not able to go to [companyname].poweredbyclear.com nor it's IP address to access the page (I've also added the port). Thats why I posted all my settings to have someone look over them incase I made some mistakes.

    Did you register your system ? Check your setting in Clearcenter
    Maybe this can be the problem.


    It has been registered since I made it.

    Not sure what exactly your question is, but if you use a domain with powerbyclear.com this is easy to make it dynamic
    In the marketplace there is an app Dynamic DNS which will update the IP automaticly when it changes
