dynamic, meaning it's likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on your
ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what your
current WAN IP address is when you want to access your network over the Internet. The
solution to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a dynamic DNS service.
The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP

DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your
listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS
services available on the Internet and best of all they're free to use. One such service you can

of your choice to begin using it. Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed
instructions or refer to Appendix E for more information.
