This doesn't have anything to do with ddclient or dyndns, as long as the dns |
| 19 |
entry is pointing to the right ip then it's doing all it should. |

Your router should provide the ability to configure port forwarding to |
| 22 |
machines in your LAN. Simply configure it to forward traffic on whatever |
| 23 |
ports you want to use to the clients which are serving those ports. The |
| 24 |
router may also provide a DMZ function which will forward all incoming |
| 25 |
traffic to a specific machine on your LAN, although this may possible make |
| 26 |
the machine vulnerable to security exploits. |

You'll have to read the documentation that came with the router or search |
| 29 |
google in order to configure it appropriately as the configuration details |
| 30 |
differ between manufacturers and models. |
