 * I installed wordpress on my homeserver with a domain name from godaddy. In godaddy,
   I set a forward to a secondary domain from no-ip. My router has built in DynDNS
   to no-ip.

   Following one of its suggestions, I changed the hosts table of my desktop, and

   wordpress.com. I guess there is trouble to establish two-way communication due

 * Can you please use Jetpack’s Debugger module to send us some more information
   about your site?
 * 1) Go to the Jetpack page in your dashboard.
    2) Click on “Help” tab in the upper
   right side of the page and click the link for “Jetpack Debugging Center.” 3) 
   Click the link that says “click here to contact Jetpack support.” 4) Fill in 
   the description box and your name and email address. 5) Click the “Contact Support”
   button.
 * Thanks!
