Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server
feature. It allows Internet 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 the WL-108/109's DDNS
screen.
4.
The WL-108/109 will then automatically ensure that your current IP
Address is recorded at http://www.dyndns.org
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.
