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 one of the listed DDNS Service Providers.
2.
After registration, follow the service provider's procedure to request a Domain Name and have it allocated to you.
3.
Enter your DDNS data on the Broadband Router's DDNS screen.
4.
The Broadband Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at the DDNS server.
If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this "IP address update"; you should disable the "Update" function, or not use
the software at all.
5.
From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using your Domain Name.

DDNS Status
•
This message is returned by the DDNS Server.
•
Normally, this message should be something like "Update
successful" (current IP address was updated on the DDNS serv-
er).
•
If the message is "No host", this indicates the host name entered
was not allocated to you. If you see this, or some other error
message, you need to contact the DDNS Service and correct the
problem.
