a domain name that you have purchased (www.whateveryournameis.com) with your
dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign

Page 73 / 92
dynamic (changing) IP addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can
enter in your domain name to connect to your server no matter what your IP address
is.
Enable Dynamic DNS:
Enable this option only if you have purchased your own
domain name and registered with a dynamic DNS service provider. The following
parameters are displayed when the option is enabled.
Server Address:
Select a dynamic DNS service provider from the pull-down list.
Host Name:
Enter your host name, fully qualified. For example:
myhost.mydomain.net
Username or Key:
Enter the username or key provided by your service provider.
If
the Dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that key in all three fields.
Password or Key:
Enter the password or key provided by your service provider. If
the Dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that key in all three fields.
Verify Password or Key:
Re-type the password or key provided by your service
provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that key in all three
fields.
Timeout:
The time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if your dynamic
IP address has not changed. The timeout period is entered in hours.

Note:
If a dynamic DNS update fails for any reason (for example, when incorrect
parameters are entered), the router automatically disables the Dynamic DNS feature
and records the failure in the log.
Note:
After configuring the router for dynamic DNS, you can open a browser and
navigate to the URL for your domain (for example
) and
the router will attempt to forward the request to port 80 on your LAN. If, however,
you do this from a LAN-side computer and there is no virtual server defined for port
80, the router will return the router's configuration home page. Refer to the
Advanced -> Virtual Server
configuration page to set up a a virtual server.

the target computer.
