4.3Dynamic DNS

Introduction

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a dynamic DNS host name (for example mywebpage.dyndns.org) to a broadband connection even if it is using a dynamic IP address. As soon as the device gets a new IP address, the dynamic DNS server updates its entry to the new IP address.

What you need

Before you can configure Dynamic DNS, you first have to create an account at a Dynamic DNS service provider. For example:

www.dyndns.org

www.no-ip.com

www.dtdns.com

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1Browse to the Thomson Gateway GUI.

2On the Toolbox menu, click Dynamic DNS.

3On the Navigation bar, click Configure.

4Select the Enabled check box.

5If necessary, select the broadband connection to which you want to assign the Dynamic DNS host name in the Interface list.

6Type the user name and password of your Dynamic DNS service account in the corresponding fields.

7In the Service list, click the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.

8In the Host box, type the host name that you got from the Dynamic DNS service provider (for example mywebpage.dyndns.org).

9Click Apply.
