DESCRIPTION
This field is only available if you use the DynDNS service provider. Select the type of DNS
service you are using.
Use Dynamic DNS if you are using a dynamic IP address.
Use Static DNS if you are hosting a server with a static IP address.
Use Custom DNS if you want to keep hosts in your domain automatically updated with
dynamic IP addresses and you want DynDNS to host its reverse DNS records.
The host name is the domain name that the DDNS service will map to your dynamic global
IP address. Type the host name fully qualified, for example, 'yourhost.mydomain.net'. You
can specify up to two host names in the field separated by a comma (",").
Type the user name that you used when you registered with the DDNS service.
Type the password associated with the DDNS user name.
This is the length of time in hours between updates to the DDNS service. If the update fails,
the NBG-416N will disable DDNS.
Select this if your DDNS service provider supports use of a wildcard (*) that will allow
'*.yourhost.dyndns.org' (where * may be the name of a web, mail, FTP etc. server in your
network) to be mapped to the same IP address as 'yourhost.dyndns.org'. This feature is
useful when there are multiple servers in your network and you want users to be able to use
different domain names to reach them.
