Zoom7000 Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 If I was to register a domain name, (for example, http://www.domain.com) and created a subdomain (e.g. home.domain.com) could I get the subdomain to point to port 3389 on my computer and therefore let me Remote Desktop into my machine? Currently I need to input my IP Address into Remote Desktop and it connects, however, does Remote Desktop allow connections using a domain name? (i.e. In this case - home.domain.com) My main reason for this is that I am on a Dynamic IP. Are there any good UK Domain Name Providers that will allow me to do this and keep their DNS records updated with my dynamic address?
mrforgetful Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 You want a ddns service like this http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ There are quite a few free ones if you search Google for ddns. Not sure on the subdomain for a specific port but you can use domains instead of IPs for the Remote Desktop.
