About this tag
No-IP is a dynamic DNS service that allows users to access devices on a home or small business network using a fixed hostname, even when the public IP address changes. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss using No-IP to enable remote desktop connections to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PCs, as well as to access a Windows Server 2012 VM and Small Business Server 2011 for web hosting and email. Common troubleshooting topics include configuring port forwarding (e.g., port 3389 for RDP), verifying that the dynamic DNS client is updating correctly, and resolving connectivity issues when remote desktop fails despite correct settings. The service is frequently used as an alternative to a static IP address for remote access and server hosting.

    Access Server 2012 VM via Dynamic DNS

    I have recently installed Small Business Server 2011 and would like to both host my web site and have Exchange handle my mail. I don't have an ISP provided IP and was wondering if I could access these features via either a DynDns or No-IP dynamic IP address. Thank you
