Dynamic DNS
Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) assign dynamic (changing) IP addresses. Using a
Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) service provider, people can enter your domain name
in their web browser to connect to your server no matter what your IP address is. Owners
of D-Link routers can use the dlinkdns service. In the Features menu on the bar on the top
of the page, click Dynamic DNS.
At the bottom of the page are the IPv6 host settings. To congure an IPv6 dynamic DNS
host, refer to IPv6 Host on page 73.
