Hello
Just switched from Sky to Virgin I,m having trouble with getting noip2 to connect to my web name, noip2 shows my ext ip as registered, but can not connect via web name, using ext ip I can access the website. I have forward the ports I need, Hope some can help
Are you trying to access the web address by its xx.xx name from your local LAN? If so it will not work on VM hubs in standard router mode.
So your saying from outside my lan I should be able to connect via it,s web name, which is set up with noip2, it all worked fine with Sky I havn't changed anything
VM router mode don't support NAT loopback
You will need to use hub in modem mode with a supported router
The hub is a terrible router....
and that's putting it politely.
I think this is unacceptable in this day and age that you cant connect to home network from outside, with the use of a DDNS as far as I know all other companies allow it.

You have got the wrong end of the stick. Of course you can connect to a device on your local LAN from the WAN by using xxx.co.uk or what ever. What you cannot do is connect to xxx.co.uk on your local LAN from another device on your LAN. Of course you have to setup port forwarding. When I have port forwarding enabled on my UDM Pro router I can talk to my 10 Raspberry Pis as well as other devices.
Ok after a router reset I can now connect using ip name from outside my lan which is what I want. So if I,m at work I can connect to home PC/network, From inside lan is not an issue. The way Noip2 do it is you install a client on the pc, and it speaks to noip2 and they up date where the ip name points to, as the address changes. There should of been no reason why it didn't work orginaly
