6.4.5 Dynamic DNS
ƒ The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc.)
using a domain name that you have purchased with your dynamically assigned IP
address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP
addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, your friends can enter
your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.
ƒ Enable Dynamic DNS: Place a check in this box to enable the DDNS feature.
ƒ Service Address: Select a DDNS service provider from the drop-down list. DynDNS
is a free service while TZO offers a 30 day free trial.
ƒ Host Name: Specify the website URL.
ƒ User Name: Specify the user name for the DDNS service.
ƒ Password: Specify the password for the DDNS service and verify it once again in
the next field.
ƒ Timeout: Specify the time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if the
dynamic IP address has not changed. The timeout period is entered in hours.
ƒ Click on the Save Settings button once you have modified the settings.
