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 DNSSM 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

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.
