Dynamic Dns Setup - D-Link DSL-2642B User Manual

Section 3 – Configuration
To access the Dynamic DNS window, click the Dynamic DNS button in the Advanced directory.
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.
Click Add to see the Add Dynamic DNS section. Enter the required
DDNS information, click the Apply button to see the entry in the
Dynamic DNS table. To remove an entry in the table, click the
corresponding button. To modify a table entry, click the
corresponding button, make the desired changes, and then click the
Apply button.
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
Note work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.
