Wireless-G Home Router

The Setup Tab - DDNS

The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other
server behind the Router. Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service with a DDNS
service provider, www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. Enter the information, as appropriate for your service. If you
do not want to use this feature, keep the default setting, Disable.

If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then select DynDNS.org from the drop-down menu. If your
DDNS service is provided by TZO, then select TZO.com. The features available on the DDNS screen will vary,
