MANUALLY CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
Using DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
The DDNS 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. TZO.com is another alternative
to DynDNS.org. DDNS 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.
Setting up the Router’s Dynamic DNS Update Client
You must register with DynDNS.org’s free update service before using
this feature. Once you have your registration, follow the directions below.
1. Enter your DynDNS.org user name in the “Account / E-mail”
field (1).
2. Enter your DynDNS.org password in the “Password / Key” field (2).
3. Enter the DynDNS.org domain name you set up with DynDNS.org
in the “Domain Name” field (3).
4. Click “Apply Changes” to update your IP address.
Whenever your IP address assigned by your ISP changes, the
Router will automatically update DynDNS.org’s servers with your
new IP address. You can also do this manually by clicking the “Apply
Changes” button (4).
