other TCP/IP Service. Get your own domain like www.yourname.com, www.yourname.com.tw
etc. (Note: This domai n must be regi stered with Internic via registration authorities such as
Network Solutions, DirectNIC, Register.com etc). Your domain name's dynamic IP address is
automatically tracked by a DDNS server.

addresses. As to the u sers that could obtain the static valid IP address, they do not u sually
have to apply the DDNS servi ce. Before we decide if DDNS is n ecessary for the users, we
have to check what kin d of Ethernet network environment we have to install our Networked
Device on.
