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. However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature, described in the following section, to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Inter- net 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.org (Registration 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 LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router 's DDNS screen.

4.The LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router 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.
