LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
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.
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 registe r for the serv ice at http:// www.dyndns.org ( Registratio n is free). You r
password will be E-mailed to you.
2. After registr ation, use th e "Create Ne w Host" opti on (at www.dyndns .org) to req uest your
desired Domain name.
3. Enter your da ta from www.dyndn s.org in the Le velOne Wire less Broadb and Router 's
DDNS screen.
4. The LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router will then automatically ensure that your current
IP Address is recorded a t http://www.dyn dns.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.
