	Clients which do not have business grade internet connections often have dynamic IP's and we need to install a dynamic dns (DDNS) client on their servers to update the host name (eg. clientname.redirectme.net) with the latest IP every time it changes.

	~~==No-IP.com==~~
	No-IP.com service should be installed at all clients who have a dynamic ip address as this solution is known to work in restrictive firewall environments. Procedure to setup No-IP.com service is as follows:

	~~#Login to www.no-ip.com with username noip@neosys.com and the password.~~
	#Create a host with the client name (eg. for client MEDIAONE create a hostname mediaone.redirectme.net) with the option DNS Host (A) and the existing public ip. Do not assign to any group at this stage.
	~~#Create a group with the client name (eg for client MEDIAONE create a group MEDIAONE) and select the host you created earlier.~~
	~~#Assign a password for the group (give a random complicated password eg - ahsfi492840asfoapfo2qikoas%2 - make sure you paste this password on your notepad as you will need it later on)~~
	~~#On the client server, go to www.no-ip.com and download the older Windows DUC 2.2.1 client (Do not use the latest one as it has an issue in starting up after a reboot and No-IP is working on a fix)~~
	~~#Run the No-IP client and put in the username as groupname:noip@neosys.com (eg mediaone:noip@neosys.com) and paste the password from your notepad.~~
	#After you login you will see it shows you the host name with an orange smiley and a tick box - click on this tick box and the smiley turns to a blushing happy yellow one which means the IP has been updated. Make sure to read the comments in the log box below.
	~~#Click on Options and in the Standard Tab tick Run as system service. Then in the Connection > Standard tab make sure the tick is on 5 minutes update rather than 30 minutes.~~

	*Due to database name length limit of 8 letters, the database name (and folder name on the server) for some clients are shortened, e.g. "brandcod".
