Need help w/ Dynsite and No-IP

[ArcticFox]

I'd really like to set up a server, and have downloaded DynSite and signed up with No-IP.com, but I can't seem to get it to connect and configured properly. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to set this up, so I can figure out what I did wrong?

Edit: Well it appears that my server wasn't running at the time....so now the question is: In the system tray the DynSite icon has a yellow exlamation mark next to it, but I can still accept succesfull connections from other people when my firewall isn't on. The status of the individual connection says "Failure", but when I hover my mouse over the icon in the tray it says "Online", and it works. Any suggestions?

Well, I've never used DynSite, but I have (and do) use DynDns.org

It's a free service, and very easy to use....

Yeah but I'm looking for something that's free. I'm not planning on hosting a serious site, just a basic file server and maybe a page or two.

I also use dyndns with DeeEnEs client (deeenes being a freeware ip update tool).

Why don't you use the no-ip duc they seem to offer?
