UPnP (Universal Plug and Play): You can choose “Activated” or “Deactivated” option from this session.
Auto-Configured (by UPnP Application): UPnP network devices can automatically configure network
addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple
product and service descriptions. Choose “Activated” option to allow UPnP-enabled applications to
automatically configure the ADSL Router so that they can communicate through the ADSL Router, for
example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to
communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port
forwarding for the UPP enabled application. If you don’t want to make configuration changes through UPnP,
just choose “Deactivated”.
SAVE: Click SAVE to save the setting to the ADSL Router.
4.5.5 DDNS
The Dynamic Domain Name System allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or
many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You can also
access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for instance
myhost.dhs.org, where my host is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an IP
address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if
they don't know your IP address. First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with
www.dyndns.org. This is for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to
have a DNS name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
