The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS
lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address.
It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other serv-
er behind the Router.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at one
of two DDNS service providers, DynDNS.org or TZO.com.
DDNS
DDNS Service
If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then select
DynDNS.org
in the drop-down menu. If your DDNS service is provided by
TZO, then select
TZO.com
. The features available on the
DDNS
screen will
vary, depending on which DDNS service provider you use.
