Configuration
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) 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.
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a dynamic DNS host name (for example
john.dyndns.org) to a broadband connection even if it is using a dynamic IP address. As soon
as the device gets a new IP address, the dynamic DNS server updates its entry to the new IP
address.
On the Configure page, you can assign a Dynamic DNS host name to a broadband
connection. Proceed as follows:
1.
Click Add.
2.
Create an account at the Dynamic DNS service of your choice, for example:
www.dyndns.org
www.no-ip.com
www.dtdns.com
3.
Type the user name and password of your Dynamic DNS service account in the
corresponding fields.
4.
If necessary, click the broadband connection to which you want to assign the Dynamic
DNS hostname in the Interface list.
5.
In the Service list, click your Dynamic DNS service.
In the Host box, type the host
6.
name you want to assign to this interface (for example
myspeedtouch.dyndns.org).
