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 one of the listed DDNS Service Providers.
2. After registration, follow the service provider's procedure to request a Domain
Name and have it allocated to you.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless Broadband router's DDNS screen.
4. The Wireless Broadband router will then automatically ensure that your current IP
Address is recorded at the DDNS server.
If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this "IP address update"; you
should disable the "Update" function, or not use the software at all.
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ
PC) using your Domain Name.
