If you cannot acquire a static IP address, there are two possibilities. First, if your public
IP address changes and you can no longer view your AP-9060/AP-16CO, simply browse
to
www.whatismyip.com from within your network to see your new public IP address,
and use that one until it changes again (usually several months).
If you do not like this option, you can use a dynamic DNS service. This way, you can
browse to a name, rather than address, such as
http://mydvr.mydomain.com . There are
several of these services that offer free accounts. We prefer www.dyndns.org , and
wholeheartedly recommend them. Their setup is easy and free, and they offer software
that prevents your free account from expiring if your public IP address does not change
often enough. Please visit their site for more information.
