Tools_Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc.) using a domain
name that you have purchased (www.whateveryournameis.com) 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.
Enable Dynamic DNS
Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered with a
dynamic DNS service provider. The following paramters are displayed when the option is
enabled.
Server Address
Select a dynamic DNS service provider from the pull-down list.
Host Name
Enter your host name, fully qualified; for example: myhost.mydomain.net.
Username or Key
Enter the username or key provided by your service provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider
supplies only a key, enter that key in all three fields.
Password or Key
Enter the password or key provided by your service provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider
supplies only a key, enter that key in all three fields.
