Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Ad-
dress.

This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP
address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult
to connect to you.

The DynDNS Service works as follows:

1. You must register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org (Registration is free).

Your password will be E-mailed to you.

2. After registration, use the "Create New Host" option (at www.dyndns.org) to re-

quest your desired Domain name.

3. Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router's

DDNS screen.

4. The ADSL Wireless Firewall Router will then automatically ensure that your current

IP Address is recorded at http://www.dyndns.org

5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC)

using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
