5.2 How to apply for a free DNS account in the http://www.dyndns.org
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 DDNS 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 DDNS server keeps
revising the record “your-name.dyndns.org vs 61.61.61.1” in its internal DNS
directory. It ends up entering http://your-name.dyndns.org in the iPhone can
find out the 2 IP camera at My-home.
The following are steps to apply for an account named
“your-name.dyndns.org” in the http://www.dyndn.org and how this account is
configured into Edimax router.
Note: http://www.dyndn.org is not a branch or affiliate of Edimax. No
commercial relation is involved between these 2 companies. The related
service offered in the http://www.dyndns.org is for free for a specific time.
However, Edimax does not guarantee this service.
