Dynamic DNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the
Virtual Server
feature. It allows Inter-
net 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 Service works as follows:
1. You must register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org (Registration is free). Your
password will be E-mailed to you.
2. After registration, use the "Create New Host" option (at www.dyndns.org) to request your
desired Domain name.
3. Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in XRT-811 's DDNS screen.
4. XRT-811 will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using
your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
