Using Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address

to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS°org offers,

allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from

various locations on the Internet° DynDNS°org provides this service, for

up to five host names, free to the Internet community°

The Dynamic DNS

SM

service is ideal for a home website, file server, or

to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at

work° Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to

your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it° When your IP

address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by

visiting yourname°dyndns°org instead!

To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit http://

www°dyndns°org°

Blocking an ICMP Ping

Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential

victims on the Internet° By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a

response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of

interest might be there° The Router can be set up so it will not respond

to an ICMP ping from the outside° This heightens your Router’s security

level°

To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping”

(1)

and click

“Apply Changes”° The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping°

Security Log

This page keeps a log of router activity, such as computers logging in to

and out of the Router, as well as attempts from the Internet to connect

to the Router° This log file can be saved and cleared°

Utilities

The “Utilities” screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router

and perform certain administrative functions°
