Hello all. I need some help setting up SETI Q and/or DNS2Go right so other people can access it over the internet. I just got 256K wireless today (yay!!) so I want to host my own proxy instead of having a friend do it for me. My DNS2Go domain is swanny.dns2go.com and the port number of my Q is 5517. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks,
Swan

More info about your system and ISP. Are you using a router or firewall? Do you have a ststic or dynamic IP address?

Dynaminc IP address. 256K wireless service. Win 2K. Using Zone Alarm for firewall (I already tried it with ZA off). No router. Just in one network card and out the other for sharing.

You will also need server software.. like The Server
You can get that here: The Server
It has the option to run as a service.

I'm not plugging this software, its just the one I use and its works very well. :D

GunDog: Your link isn't working right now. And I don't think you need server software. The friend I have hosting it right now doesn't run anything besides the Q. But maybe you need special software to make it work through DNS2Go.

Hmm, still doesn't work with that.

One thing I noticed. My IP address right now is 10.101.44.131 (from ipconfig). The Q comes up fine when I type in that IP addy. So it's not in the Q. The strange thing is that under status for dns2go it says that my address currently points to 12.152.197.240. I don't know why it wouldn't be updating right, or if this is even the problem. I've tried restarting and it didn't help.

Hmmm, very strange. I had a buddy try the link and it worked fine?
I tried your queue again, even using the raw IP address.. no go.
I'm curious, if you click on Browse/Stats in SetiQueue. Does it come up in a IP of 127.0.0.1:5517/stats.htm ? or something very similar?

Still, trying to lend a hand :)

Swanny,

I just set up a queue last week with DNS2GO also (Thanks ConfusedBW for the assist :) ) All I had to do was open port 5517 on my router and load the dn2go software. Once I configured the queue everything worked it just took Berkeley awhile before it would let me download a WU (two days!). Everything is working fine for me now.

How do you receive the wireless? There must be some unit that receives the wireless and puts it out to ethernet. Have you tried to see if there are any settings with it that you can modify?

Yes, it uses the internal loopback addy (127.0.0.1) to check stats. However I can also check them across my network on the machine's IP (192.168.0.1). So I'm pretty sure the stats aren't just disabled or anything.

No, I don't have anything that distributes the wireless outside my PC. It goes in one network card and then out the other to my ethernet using basic windows internet connection sharing. So no, there aren't any setting I can think of to modify.


Please keep the help coming! I'm sure we'll eventally find the problem. Anyone have an idea about that discrepency (sp?) between the IP address ipconfig shows and the one DNS2Go shows?

Thanks again,
Swan

What I am asking Swanny is how does the Wireless signal going to your house get to your computer? I am not looking for what distrubutes it outside your pc but what gets it to your PC.

You have an internal ip address on your machine of 192.168.1.1 then it seems to me you have NAT running somewhere. If you can find where then you need to open a pinhole for port 5517. I am sure that is what your problem is.

Here's how is gets to my PC: Antenna on top of house -> little box that guys told me was nothing more than a power supply (no intelligence in it) -> surge protector -> network card in server. I'm on the server right now (HD died in my main PC, and SETI has always been on my server anyway) so that's all the farther it comes to get to where (I think) it should be able to access the Q. I assume that windows internet connection sharing uses NAT for the other computers connected to it, but I don't know if it uses it on the host computer as well.

Make-believe Grandson,

http://dns2go.deerfield.com/pricing/

I think the way this works is that you are registered with DNS2Go but you need a program that constantly sends your current IP ADDRESS to DNS2Go so it can kept up todate. I use the one available at the above site. It may be part of DNS2Go...I'm not sure. Seems I remember something about getting a 3rd party software to do the auto-updating and that is probably what GUNDOG is talking about.

Hope that helps. ;)

Make-believe granddad,

I already have the client program of DNS2Go. What is this other 3rd party program you're speaking of? I just downloaded it today so I'm pretty sure the client I have is up-to-date;)

Well, the little program of which I speak has a "rocket ship" icon in the startup tray. Do you have that?

Yup, I've got the rocket ship. I consider that 1st party software, since it's straight from DNS2Go.;)

On the server if you go to a command prompt and type ipconfig /all what ip address does it show it as having?

Crazee: IP config has me at 10.101.44.131. That's the ethernet adapter directly connected to the line coming in. DNS2Go has me as 12.152.197.240. You'll see that info was in an earlier post too;) But there's nothing wrong with me getting a little practice on the number pad :)

I think what Swanny has been trying to tell us is that he has the PC that is directly connected to the Wireless connection running ICS, with 2 nics. 1 to the Wireless/Internet at IP address 10.101.44.131 the other to the internal network at 192.168.0.1.

Right Swanny? :)

So which PC is running the SETIQ, the one with 2 nics & ICS sharing, or another PC on the internal network?

Which one is running DSN2Go? It sounded like the one running ICS.

The 10.101.44.131 is my server's ethernet adapter that's connected to the internet. 192.168.0.1 is the adapter that's connected to my LAN. Does that help?

That helps some. Now which one is running DSN2GO and which is running SetiQ?

Hmmm, does anyone know how to copy and paste out of DOS? Then I could just post my whole ipconfig thing for you guys to look at if it would help.
