To activate the DDNS client:
1 Go to the DynDNS website and create an account for the Dynamic DNS service.
2 You will create a username and password, and be asked to choose a host name
for your server, and the dynamic DNS domain to which your host will be assigned.
3 You will also be asked for your host’s current IP address. This is the WAN IP
address that has been assigned to your Cable Modem/Router during provisioning.
(See WAN IP Address on the Router tab, Basic/My Network page)
4 Enter your account information on the Advanced / DDNS web page, enable the
service by selecting www.DynDNS.org from the DDNS Service drop-down list, and
click Apply.
5 The DDNS client will notify the DDNS service whenever the WAN IP address
changes so that your chosen host name will be resolved properly by inquiring hosts.
The current status of the service is shown at the bottom of the DDNS web page.
