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!

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°
