7.2 Dynamic DNS

Use the Dynamic DNS feature sub-menu to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server,
etc.) using a domain
(www.whateveryournameis.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address. Most
broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses.
Using a Dynamic DNS service provider, the router can be addressed by Host Name,
regardless of the assigned IP address.
