Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS allows you to dynamically update a pre assigned domain name with the Internet IP address learned by the DSL modem. The SpeedStream router supports client updates to DynDNS.org (http://www.dyndns.org). To use the Dynamic DNS service, you must first set up a free account at www.dyndns.org. When the account is successfully established, you will be provided a username and password for your account. You must also register any DNS host names you wish to use with the DynDNS.org service. The client supports the updating of two host names. When configured correctly, the DSL modem will automatically determine your Internet IP address and update the DNS server at DynDNS.org. After the update, you can use your host name to access services, such as a web or mail server, by name instead of using the IP Address. All operation and errors are stored in the modem's System Log.

Note Access from the WAN to the LAN might be restricted by NAT/NAPT or the firewall. These services need to be configured before attempting to access servers on your LAN side.
