Dynamic DNS

This feature is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your
Virtual Servers by using a URL, rather than an IP address.

It 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.

The service works as follows:

1.

You must register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org(Registration is free). Your password will be sent to
you by e-mail.

2.

After registration, use the “Create New Host” option (at www.dyndns.org) to request your desired Domain
name.

3.

Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in the Router’s Dynamic DNS screen.

4.

The Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at http:// www.dyndns.org.

5.

From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Server (or DMZ PC) using your domain name,
as shown in the screen.

Note: For Dynamic DNS free servcie, please note of the following:

1. You must sign up first to create a new account before using the service. The service is

free.

2. Click the link www.dyndns.org for connecting to this web site.

3. Your initial password will be sent to you by e-mail. You can change it later if you wish.

4. After registration, use the “Create New Host” link (on the www.dyndns.org Web site) to

request a domain name.
