verify that there is only one DHCP server (or router) on the LAN. If you have multiple DHCP servers, then disable the DHCP service on all but one server.

Domain Name

You may also specify Domain Name Server (DNS) server addresses for all con- nected computers on your LAN.

5.3 Dynamic DNS

If you want to host your own web servers, one or more static IP addresses are strongly recommended; see your ISP for information on upgrading your account. For many home users and small organizations, a dynamic DNS service (DDNS) can provide most of the functionality you need—at a fraction of the cost of renting static IP addresses from your ISP.

The router supports a few of the most popular DDNS, including DynDNS.org. For a “voluntary” contribution of US$30, they can dynamically provide name ser- vices (DNS) to match your dynamic IP address. This means your organization’s www.iloveasante.org (fictitious) website can be hosted on a computer on your network—even though you have a budget-priced, basic cable/DSL service.

Whenever your dynamic IP address changes, the router will automatically in- form your DDNS provider of your new address.
