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!
Setting up the Router’s Dynamic DNS Update Client
You must register with DynDNS.org’s free update service before using
this feature. Once you have your registration, follow the directions below.
1�
Select DynDNS as the “DDNS Service” (1).
2�
Enter your DynDNS.org user name in the “User Name” field (2).
3�
Enter your DynDNS.org password in the “Password” field (3).
4�
Enter the DynDNS.org domain name you set up with
DynDNS.org in the “Domain Name” field (4).
5�
Click “Update Dynamic DNS” (5) to update your IP address.
Whenever your IP address assigned by your ISP changes, the Router will
automatically update DynDNS.org’s servers with your new IP address.
You can also do this manually by clicking the “Update Dynamic DNS”
button (5).

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.
(1)
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click
“Apply Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
Utilities
The “Utilities” screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router
and perform certain administrative functions.
