Dynamic DNS
12.1
Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure your ZyXEL Device to use Dynamic DNS.
Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or
many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in applications such
as NetMeeting and CU-SeeMe). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on
your own computer using a domain name (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where
myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an IP
address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will
always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.
First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with
www.dyndns.org. This is for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP
server that would still like to have a domain name. The Dynamic DNS service
provider will give you a password or key.
12.1.1
What You Need To Know
DYNDNS Wildcard
Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be
aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if
you want to be able to use, for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach
your hostname.
If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.

Firewall
13.1
Overview
Use the ZyXEL Device firewall screens to enable and configure the firewall that
protects your ZyXEL Device and network from attacks by hackers on the Internet
and control access to it. By default the firewall:
•
allows traffic that originates from your LAN and WLAN computers to go to all
other networks.
•
blocks traffic that originates on other networks from going to the LAN and
WLAN.
The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User
A
can initiate an IM
(Instant Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (
1
). Return traffic for this
session is also allowed (
2
). However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked
(
3
and
4
).

What You Need to Know
Firewall
The ZyXEL Device’s firewall feature physically separates the LAN/WLAN and the
WAN and acts as a secure gateway for all data passing between the networks.
It is designed to protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when activated.
The ZyXEL Device's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be
securely connected to the Internet. The ZyXEL Device can be used to prevent
theft, destruction and modification of data, as well as log events, which may be
important to the security of your network.
The ZyXEL Device is installed between the LAN/WLAN and a broadband modem
connecting to the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data
passing between the Internet and the LAN.
The ZyXEL Device has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which
are used to physically separate the network into two areas.The WAN (Wide Area
Network) port attaches to the broadband (cable or DSL) modem to the Internet.
The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which
needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to
Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, "inbound
access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a
specific service.
ICMP
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a message control and error-reporting
protocol between a host server and a gateway to the Internet. ICMP uses Internet
Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages are processed by the TCP/IP software
and directly apparent to the application user.
