Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Service) is a method of keeping a domain name
linked to a changing (dynamic) IP address. With most Cable and DSL
connections, you are assigned a dynamic IP address and that address is used
only for the duration of that specific connection. With the DCS-5300, you can
setup your DDNS service and the DCS-5300 will automatically update your
DDNS server every time it receives a different IP address.
