How to apply for a free DNS account at http://www.no-ip.com

It’s very likely your IP address (the Internet location) keeps changing every a

couple of hours or every day depending on your ISP’s policy. Therefore, as

shown in the following figure, you may be assigned with an IP address,

“61.61.61.1” hours ago, and now with a new IP address, “72.72.72.1”. This

means the router at “My-home” can be found at http://61.61.61.1 over the

Internet is no longer available after a few hours. To find out the new location (IP

address) of the router at My home over the Internet, you need to login to the

router, checking the new IP address. However, this is not a workable solution.

To overcome this problem, an Internet service called NO-IP DNS is designed

to help you trace the log of the changing IP address linking with a web site

address (URL). As shown in the following figure, one PC called DNS server

keeps revising the record “your-name.no-ip.org vs 61.61.61.1” in its internal

DNS directory. It ends up entering http://your-name.no-ip.org in the iPhone can

find out the 2 network camera at My-home.

The following are steps to apply for an account named “your-name.no-ip.org”

in the http://www.no-ip.com and how this account is configured into Edimax

router.
