Ddns - EE Brightbox User Manual

6. Click Save Settings
Only one administrator can be logged into the router admin pages at any time. The router
determines the administrator by the IP address of the person logged into the admin pages. If
you want to leave the admin pages, remember to click the logout link at the top right hand
corner of the pages. If you don't logout, another user on a different computer cannot login
until the timeout time expires. If you have set the timeout period too long (or set to 0) then
you will need to power your router off and on to reset access to the admin pages on another
computer.

DDNS

The DDNS page allows you to configure the Dynamic DNS service for your router. Dynamic
DNS is online service that allows you to register a domain name and have any traffic that tries
to access that domain name be forwarded to your router's Internet IP address. This feature is
particularly handy for EE Broadband users who will have a different Internet IP address each
time the router is restarted.
By setting up a Dynamic DNS service with either DynDNS (dyndns.org) or TZO (tzo.com) and
configuring the Dynamic DNS settings in the router's DDNS page, the router will inform
those services of your current IP address and forward traffic directed to your domain – for
example yourname.dyndns.com to the router. You can couple Dynamic DNS with Port
Forwarding to have traffic directed to a web server or similar application on your local
network without having to enter the Internet IP address manually each time.
To access the Dynamic DNS page:
1. Login to the router's admin pages.
2. Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the 'Please proceed with
caution' page.
3. Click on System in the left hand navigation menu to expand the System menu:
4. Click on DDNS on the left hand menu:
