3.6.4 Dynamic DNS

You can configure WNRT-61O to use DDNS service if you already have a registered DDNS account.

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 Address.

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.

DDNS Services work as follows:

1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.

2. After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your desired Domain name.

3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless Broadband Router's DDNS screen, and enable the DDNS

feature.

4. The Wireless Broadband Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is

recorded at the DDNS service provider's Domain Name Server.

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.
