Internet Gateway User Guide

Dynamic DNS

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
The Service works as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service Providers.
2. After registration, follow the service provider's procedure to request a Domain Name and
have it allocated to you.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the Internet Gateway's DDNS screen.
4. The Internet Gateway will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is
recorded at the DDNS server.
If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this "IP address update," you should
disable the "Update" function, or not use the software at all.
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual
using your Domain Name.
