Dynamic DNS Setup
9.1 Overview
Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many
dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You
can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for
instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change
instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives
will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is
for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a
domain name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.
9.1.1 What You Can Do in the Dynamic DNS Screen
Use the
Dynamic DNS
screen (
) to enable DDNS and configure the
DDNS settings on the ZyXEL Device.
9.1.2 What You Need to Know About Dynamic DNS
DYNDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the
same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use,
for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.
If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.
9.2 The Dynamic DNS Screen
To change your ZyXEL Device’s DDNS, click
Dynamic DNS
. The screen appears as shown.
