Internet Features 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 dynamic 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.
TW100-BRF114 User’s Guide DDNS Data User Name Enter the "User name" specified at the www.dyndns.org Web site when you registered. Password Enter your current password for www.dyndns.org Domain Name • Enter your domain name, as allocated at www.dyndns.org. • The name should consist only of letters and the hyphen (dash). Using any other characters may cause problems.. DDNS Status This message is returned by the DDNS Server at www.dyndns.
Internet Features MAC Address The MAC (hardware) address is a low-level network identifier. It may be called "MAC Address", "Hardware Address", or "Physical Address". On a PC, this address is associated with the Network card or adapter. The address on the MAC Address screen is the address on the Internet (WAN port) interface, and has no effect on the LAN interface.
TW100-BRF114 User’s Guide Virtual Servers This feature allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: • Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. • Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as illustrated below.
Internet Features Virtual Servers Screen The Virtual Servers screen is reached by the Virtual Servers link on the Internet menu. An example screen is shown below. Figure 33: Virtual Servers Screen This screen lists a number of pre-defined Servers, and allows you to define your own Servers. Details of the selected Server are shown in the "Properties" area. Data - Virtual Servers Screen Servers Servers This lists a number of pre-defined Servers, plus any Servers you have defined.
TW100-BRF114 User’s Guide Buttons Defaults This will delete any Servers you have defined, and set the predefined Servers to use their default port numbers. Disable All This will cause the "Enable" setting of all Virtual Servers to be set OFF. Add Add a new entry to the Virtual Server list, using the data shown in the "Properties" area on screen. The entry selected in the list is ignored, and has no effect.
Internet Features Connecting to the Virtual Servers Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP). e.g. http://203.70.212.52 ftp://203.70.212.52 It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic.
