Well I just got out of my daughters room where I was able to set the
ports to "6400" on BOTH PORTS for the Lantronix UDS-10 Device which
I'm using. The Internal IP ADDRESS for the lantronix is
"192.168.0.128" and it's set to "TCP" mode and OPEN ALL HOURS AND ALL
DAYS!

So, moving onto the next issue, I need to figure out how the heck to
get the DNS service to work in conjunction with the lantronix. Once I
do that, I'll put the BBS back up again and it will be ready for
action!


Thanks for all the help guys and gals! Much appreciated.

I know this is a pointless question, but Charles, you do realize that
DNS has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with your Lantronix device
right? It's a completely unrelated service.

No, he doesn't... perhaps dslman and him can share bbs stories. I hear
both their boards are on the same subnet.....

Well actually, I DO realize that, bu for the sake of the BBS, I have
done a bit of reading up on the matter and have found that the router
will change IP's on me periodically and that the ONLY WAY to stop that
from happening is to get a DNS Server Service (and even that won't
stop the ip from changing <it still will change>but it will allow
people to still call in using the service. :):):):)


Thanks for the info though. ;)

Your options are:
1 - pay your ISP for a static-IP. Then you can register a DNS name. This is
the most costly option.

2 - check your router to see if it supports a DNS service. My Linksys
supports 2 different services. Once you sign up, it will automatically
update it. My Linksys supports dyndns.org and tzo.com. tzo costs $25/yr,
dyndns and no-ip are free.

3 - Sign up for a dynamic DNS service, whether it is supported by your
router or through a "software updater". In the case of the latter, you'd
require an OS that is supported. no-ip and dyndns both support Windows/OS
X/Linux.
