3.6.5 DDNS

Go to Access Management-> DDNS to set DDNS account.

The Dynamic Domain Name System allows you to update your current dynamic IP

address with one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in

NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on

your own computer using a DNS-like address (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where my

host is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an IP address that

changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call

you even if they don't know your IP address. First of all, you need to have registered a

dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people with a dynamic IP

from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a DNS name. The Dynamic

DNS service provider will give you a password or key.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
