Dynamic Dns - D-Link DSL-522T User Manual

Dynamic DNS

The Router supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic
public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, allowing access to a
specified host from various locations on the Internet. This is enabled to allow remote access to a host by
clicking a hyperlinked URL in the form hostname.dyndns.org, Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using
DHCP, this can make it difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using standard DNS. If for example you
are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, this ensures that the host can be located from
the Internet if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the
supported DDNS providers.
Note: DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported DDNS servers prior to engaging it
on the router. This function will not work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.
Enter the required DDNS information and click Apply to set this information in the Router.
