DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic DNS Service) is a system which allows the domain
name data held in a name server to be updated in real time. It allows an
Internet domain name to be assigned to a computer with a varying
(dynamic) IP address. Before you can use this feature, you need to sign
up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider, www.dyndns.org or
www.TZO.com.
Service Type:
From the drop-down list, select your DDNS service type.
User name:
Enter the user name for your DDNS account.
Password:
Enter the password for your DDNS account.
Host name:
The Host Name is optional but may be required by some
ISPs.
WildCard:
Some DDNS servers support the wildcard alias feature which
points *.yourhost.dyndns.org to your computers automatically. All aliases
for your domain such as www.yourhost.dyndns.org will point to your
computer by default due to Wildcard Alias. This allows users to access
your computer using all types of derivatives of your domain name.
Internet IP Address:
The Router’s Internet IP address is displayed here.
Because it is dynamic, it changes.
Status:
This shows whether the DDNS service is enabled or disabled.
