Dynamic Dns - D-Link STORAGE DNS-313 User Manual

Configuration

Dynamic DNS

The DNS-313 supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The
Dynamic DNS 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 hyper-linked URL in the
form hostname.dyndns.org. Many ISPs assign public IP addresses
using DHCP, and this can make it difficult to locate a specific host on
the LAN using standard DNS. If for example you are running a public
FTP server, 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 device. This
function will not work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.
