Basic Setting > Network > DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server
Setting)
The IP address (Ex. 210.168.0.22) is like a telephone number, while the website
address is like a name in an address book. The DDNS allows the user to access the
website by entering the name of the website without memorizing a bunch of cold
numbers.
When you apply for an Internet service, you will have at least one IP address from
your ISP that is either fixed or dynamic. Most of the ADSL service providers will
give you a dynamic IP for ADSL environments, which means your IP address will
constantly change each time you connect to the Internet. As a result, users from
WAN environments will have much difficulty finding the correct IP address. The
DDNS (Dynamic DNS service) is created for exactly this kind of moment. By
updating your WAN IP address each time you connect to the Internet, the DDNS
helps you locate your website and access your website easily. You can find a lot of
free DDNS service providers on the Internet, such as www.no-ip.com and
www.DynDNS.org.
Some gateway-routers can directly communicate with DDNS. In this case, you may
directly enter your DDNS account on the setting page in the Internet router, and then
the router will update your WAN IP status whenever it is changed and report to the
DDNS. If your router does not support direct communication with the DDNS, you can
download a small application program on the DDNS service page to help you update
your WAN IP.
