Dynamic DNS Help
A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Service provides a central public database where information (such as e-
mail addresses, host names and IP addresses) can be stored and retrieved. The Dynamic DNS server
also stores password-protected information and accepts queries based on e-mail addresses.
If you want to use a DDNS service, you must register for it. The Dynamic DNS client service
provider will give you a password or key.
To set up for DDNS:
1. If you have registered with a DDNS service provider, select the
Use A Dynamic DNS
Service
check box.
2. Select the name of your dynamic DNS
Service Provider
.
3. Type the
Host Name
that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
The DDNS service provider may call this the domain name.
4. Type the
User Name
for your DDNS account.
5. Type the
Password
(or key) for your DDNS account.
6. Click
Apply
to have the DDNS service used.
Use Wildcards
- If you have DYNDNS as your DDNS service provider, you may select the
Use
Wildcards
check box to activate this optional feature.
Note:
The Router supports only basic DDNS and the login and password may not be secure. If you
have a private WAN IP address, do not use DDNS service as it may lead to problems.
