– Dynamic DNS Settings
DNS
(Domain Name Service) is the “middleman” who translates domain names such as multitech.com
or yahoo.com into numbers (and, occasionally, the other way around).
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name such as
youname.dyndns.org
or any other name in one of many domains offered by the service.
You must sign up with a DNS service provider in order to use this option.
