4.3.7.2 Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if
your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is
especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to
connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP
address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address
of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
You first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using
their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
There are more than 5 DDNS services supported.
Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function.
Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The fields following are activated
and required.
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Host: Enter one domain name you have registered.
Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and
your username and password for this service.
Period: Set the time period between updates, for the router to exchange information with
the DDNS server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router
performs an update when your dynamic IP address changes.
Wildcard: Select this check box to enable the DYNDNS Wildcard.
