DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) converts NetBIOS names to IP addresses. If you use a WINS

The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server,
or other server behind the Router.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at one of two DDNS service providers,
DynDNS.org or TZO.com. If you do not want to use this feature, keep the default setting, Disable.
NOTE: To test your settings, connect to the Internet now.
ddns: allows the hosting of a website, FTP
server, or e-mail server with a fixed
domain name (e.g., www.xyz.com) and a
dynamic IP address.
