USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Using Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS�org offers, allowing
your network computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet� DynDNS�org provides this service, for up to five host
names, free to the Internet community�
The Dynamic DNS
SM
service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at work�
Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it� When your IP address
changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by visiting yourname�dyndns�org instead!
To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit http://www�dyndns�org�
