UPnP (Universal Plug and Play): You can choose “Activated” or “Deactivated” option from
this session.
Auto-Configured (by UPnP Application): UPnP network devices can automatically configure
network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable
exchange of simple product and service descriptions. Choose “Activated” option to allow
UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the ADSL Router so that they can
communicate through the ADSL Router, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications
automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP
enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPP
enabled application. If you don’t want to make configuration changes through UPnP, just
choose “Deactivated”.
SAVE: Click SAVE to save the setting to the ADSL Router.

8.5 DDNS
The Dynamic Domain Name System allows you to update your current dynamic IP
address with one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting,
CU-SeeMe, etc.). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using
a DNS-like address (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where my host is a name of your choice) that
will never change instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your
friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address. First of
all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people
with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a DNS name. The
Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
