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 Wireless Router's
DDNS screen.
4. The Wireless Router 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.
