Reference Guide for the Model RO318 Cable/DSL Security Router

Dynamic DNS

Your router supports Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). In a Dynamic DNS service, an IP
registry server provides a public central database where dynamically-assigned IP addresses can be
stored and retrieved by hostname lookup. The Dynamic DNS server also stores
password-protected e-mail addresses along with IP addresses and hostnames and accepts queries
based on e-mail addresses.
To utilize this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider, who will give
you a password or key. At this time, the Model RO318 router only supports DynDNS service. For
more information, visit www.dyndns.org.
The configuration fields for Dynamic DNS are shown in
Table 5-1.

yourhost.dyndns.org.
