Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
Dynamic DNS is an Internet service that makes it possible for
the FRITZ!Box to remain accessible from the Internet at all
times under a fixed name, even though the public IP address
changes.
You must register with a dynamic DNS provider to use this
service. When you register, you agree on the fixed name (do-
main name) at which your FRITZ!Box should be accessible
from the Internet. You also define a user name and password.
Every time the IP address changes, the FRITZ!Box transmits
the new IP address to the dynamic DNS provider in the form of
an update request. Then the domain name is assigned to the
current IP address by the dynamic DNS provider.
Setting Up Dynamic DNS in the FRITZ!Box
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
).
2.
Make sure that the expert mode is enabled in the “Sys-
tem / Expert Mode” menu.
3.
Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
4.
Select the “Dynamic DNS” page and set up dynamic
DNS. Consult the Online Help available in the FRITZ!Box
user interface for more information.
Every time the Internet connection is interrupted the Internet
Service Provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address
may change in the process. Therefore it is a good idea to use
dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always be reached
under the same name. For more information, see the section
