6.4.5 Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc.)
using a domain name that you have purchased with your dynamically assigned IP
address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP
addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, your friends can enter
your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address is.
Enable Dynamic DNS: Place a check in this box to enable the DDNS feature.
Service Address: Select a DDNS service provider from the drop-down list. DynDNS
is a free service while TZO offers a 30 day free trial.
Host Name: Specify the website URL.
User Name: Specify the user name for the DDNS service.
Password: Specify the password for the DDNS service and verify it once again in
the next field.
Timeout: Specify the time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if the
dynamic IP address has not changed. The timeout period is entered in hours.
Click on the Save Settings button once you have modified the settings.
