  • Setting up dyndns using synchro.net

    From Ric743256@1:103/705 to All on Mon Jan 18 13:35:23 2021
    I have followed the dyndns.txt to the letter I believe and am using my qwk-id. So the address should be filecabi.synchro.net. Someone can try it and let me know, but I can't seem to get it working. Any ideas?

    Looking at your BBS tag it looks like you set it up on your home network and not your actual ip adddres.
    also include port you are using.
    and make sure youopen ports in your router that pertain to synchronet.
