Windows 10: Any ATT Fiber users? Dynamic DNS?

Yea, its your favorite "noob" again.

i'm trying to figure out this whole dynamic dns thing for the first time. First caveat seems to be the fact I use the default ISP provided gateway which leaves me with many constraints and even less information available on the web.

Still, im all but certain it can be worked around.

I have 0 experience with access from outside the home, and the gateway has ditched upnp completely so I need to do something with the ports i gather.

Preliminarily without knowing exactly what im looking for, it sounds like the options in the router to directly configure the domain name-WAN link are non existent on the router itself. Apparently applications exist that you can run on your pc that will update the link between ddns and your IP when it changes, however ATT's allegedly changes so infrequently, id just assume log into the website and update it when the need arises. (unless it becomes problematic)

I have gotten so far as setting up 2 domains on 2 separate ddns providers pointing to my WAN IPV4 address.

and then a wall was hit.

No idea what I need to do next on my side. Some kind of forwarding on the gateway. Arris BG210-700 if thats helpful.

DNS SERVER NOT RESONDING

Hi Rita French,

This issue often occurs when the DNS settings are incorrect. I suggest you to perform the following methods to troubleshoot the issue.

Method 1:

I would recommend you to change the Preferred DNS server and check if it helps.

• Press Windows + R keys to open Run window, type
  ncpa.cpl and press Enter.
• Right-click on the connection that you use for the local connection, and then click
  Properties.
• Click to select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click
  Properties.
• In the Internet Protocol window, let's change the Preferred DNS server to
  208.67.222.222
• Click OK twice to complete the modification.

Note: If the issue persists, please repeat the steps and change the "Preferred DNS server" to 208.67.220.220.

Method 2:

If that does not help, try to flush the DNS. Follow these steps below.

• From Start screen, type Command Prompt.
• Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
• Type: ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

Note: The ipconfig /flushdns command provides you with a means to flush and reset the contents of the DNS client resolver cache. During DNS troubleshooting, if necessary, you can use this procedure to discard negative cache entries from the cache, as well
as, any other dynamically added entries.

Hope any of these methods help!

Kind regards,

Leon

Why no manual DNS at Windows 10 mobile

Really as Windows 10 is same SO for all devices, I expected than we at mobile phones get this than is really needed

Why only can enter DNS with static IP? Why not with Dynamic IP like at desktop version?

Per example at my case than I use Fiber Optic internet, it is a NEED, as the ONT has no setting to manually configure DNS
