Basic Setting > Network > DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server Setting) The IP address (Ex. 210.168.0.22) is like a telephone number, while the website
address is like a name in an address book. The DDNS allows the user to access the
website by entering the name of the website without memorizing a bunch of cold
numbers.
When you apply for an Internet service, you will have at least one IP address from
your ISP, which is either a fixed or dynamic one. Most of the ADSL service providers
will give you a dynamic one for the ADSL environment, which means your IP address
will constantly change each time you connect to the Internet, and as a result users
from WAN will have much difficulty finding your correct IP address. The DDNS
(Dynamic DNS service) is created for exactly this kind of moment. By updating your
WAN IP address each time you connect to the Internet, the DDNS helps you locate
your website and access your website easily. You can find a lot of free DDNS service
providers on the Internet, such as www.no-ip.com and www.DynDNS.org.
Some gateway-routers c an directly communicate with DDNS. In this case, you may
directly enter your DDN S account on the setting page in the Internet router, then the
router will update your WAN IP status whenever it is changed and report to the
DDNS. If your router does not support direct communication with the DDNS, you can
download a small application program on the DDNS service page to help you update
your WAN IP.
