DDNS service
DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least
one IP address which you use to connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never
changes, or dynamic, it would be changed periodically. One of the possible solutions for the dynamic IP
address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.
DDNS provides users the same hostname when their IP address is variable. There are several excellent
DDNS services available on the Internet. One such service you can use is
www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to
register with the service and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it. Please refer to the home
page of the service for detailed instructions or refer to Appendix G for more information.
If your device is connected to xDSL directly, you might need this feature. However, if your device is behind a
NAT router,
you will not need to enable this feature. Most of the XDSL users will use dynamic IP addresses. If
users want to set up a web or a FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary.
