Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server

feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a

URL, rather than an IP Address.

This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dy-

namic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect,

which makes it difficult to connect to you.

The Service works as follows:

1. You must register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org (Registra-

tion is free). Your password will be E-mailed to you.

2. After registration, use the "Create New Host" option (at

www.dyndns.org) to request your desired Domain name.

3. Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in the DC-202's DDNS screen.

4. The DC-202 will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address

is recorded at http://www.dyndns.org

5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers

(or DMZ PC) using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
