Hello!
 
With Dyndns you can just use their web interface and update your IP whenever you need to. I use their update client on my iMac and it does it for me. It doesn't matter what machine it runs on inside your lan.
 
To test your BBS internally just telnet in to the LAN IP instead of the Dyndns IP from another system. This needs to work (obviously) before messing with the NAT.
 
Yes the port forwarding is done on your router, just forward telnet to the IP of your Amiga and you should be good.

When troubleshooting your router, let's just keep DYNDNS out of the picture for now. Work on DYNDNS after you have it all set up.
 
With that said, you should be able to get your public IP address from the router itself or from a page like Whatsmyip.org (http://www.whatsmyip.org/)

How did trying to connect to the BBS from your LAN go with the internal address go?
 
Test Flow Chart...


Good luck!

I can give you a copy of my versions of any files you need although they may be different as I am using Ami-Express and not C-net. Let me know.

Hyperterm is crap for telnet.

You would be better to use Syncterm as it supports telnet, ansi etc... for bbs use.

As has been said before, you need to forward the telnet port (23) in the router/adsl modem to the ip address of your amiga.

Actung:

You might want to consider a package like ClassicWB (http://classicwb.abime.net/) as trying to get anywhere from stock workbench disks is a real pain. If you can get that running, I can help you with your Ami-TCP / Miami setup or whatever.
 
What network card are you using?

Dmaster, the DYNDNS doesn't seem to work like it did when you gave me the IP.  Douple check your settings.  Its good to see two more CNet Amiga Pro boards up!
