domain or computer?

[bluedanube]

How do I name each computer in a dsl network with linksys router and one dynamic domain? Since ALL the computers have the same ip address(WAN).

The private computer names will not matter to anyone on the Internet (unless you have an internal DNS server that is used by those on the Internet).

So you may name them anything your want.

That's exactly the problem I am facing. I have one server and I son't know if I should name it as xxx.yyy.com( the domain equivalent to an ip address) or aaa.xxx.yyy.com where aaa is the name of the computer and the rest is the domain.

Just assign (workgroup) names for each PC. The router take the single dynamic IP address from your provider, and will assign each pc an internal IP address (Linksys routers default to assigning 192.168.1.XXX addresses).

The name of the server should not matter. If you are hosting your own DNS server then you can give it as many names as you want and still refer to the same IP address.

In all cases of Dynamic DNS that I understand you will not be able to redirect *.yourAccountName.dynservice.org once inside your LAN. Anything like *.yourAccountName.dynservice.org goes to the one public (and dynamic) IP you have but you can't redirect it by name. You router should be able to do it by destination port though. So, also in this in this case, the LAN host name will not matter.
