6.3 Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It
allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP
Address.

This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP
address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult
to connect to you.

DDNS Services work as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.
2. After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your

desired Domain name.

3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless Router's DDNS screen, and enable the

DDNS feature.

4. The Wireless Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is

recorded at the DDNS service provider's Domain Name Server.

5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ

PC) using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
