Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so
if your ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This
is especially useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing
to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP
address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP
address of the router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
You first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using
their website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
