Tools_Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc.) using
a domain name that you have purchased (www.whateveryournameis.com) with your
dynamically assigned IP address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign
dynamic (changing) IP addresses. When you use a Dynamic DNS service provider, your
friends can enter your host name to connect to your server, no matter what your IP address
is.
Enable Dynamic DNS
Enable this option only if you have purchased your own domain name and registered
with a dynamic DNS service provider. The following paramters are displayed when
the option is enabled.
Server Address
Select a dynamic DNS service provider from the pull-down list.
Host Name
Enter your host name, fully qualified; for example: myhost.mydomain.net.
Username or Key
Enter the username or key provided by your service provider. If the Dynamic DNS
provider supplies only a key, enter that key in all three fields.
