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.
