Linksys WRT330N manual Setup Tab Dynamic DNS

Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router

The SETUP Tab - Dynamic DNS

The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other server behind the Router. Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at one of two DDNS service providers, DynDNS.org or TZO.com.
