4. Select the “Use a dynamic DNS service” check box.
5. Select the name of your dynamic DNS Service Provider.
6. Type the Host Name that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
The dynamic DNS service provider may call this the domain name. If your URL is
myName.dyndns.org, then your Host Name is “myName.”
7. Type the User Name for your dynamic DNS account.
8. Type the Password (or key) for your dynamic DNS account.
9. If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can
select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same
IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org
10. Click Apply to save your configuration.
