Getting the Most Out of Your Thomson Gateway
5.3Dynamic DNS
Introduction
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a dynamic DNS host name (for example john.dyndns.org) to a broadband connection even if it is using a dynamic IP address. As soon as the device gets a new IP address, the dynamic DNS server updates its entry to the new IP address.
What you need
Before you can configure Dynamic DNS, you first have to create an account at a Dynamic DNS service provider. For example:
>
>
>
www.dyndns.org
www.dtdns.com
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1Browse to the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.
2On the Toolbox menu, click Dynamic DNS.
3On the Navigation bar, click Configure.
4Select the Enabled check box.
5If necessary, select the broadband connection to which you want to assign the Dynamic DNS host name in the Interface list.
6Type the user name and password of your Dynamic DNS service account in the corresponding fields.
7In the Service list, click the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.
8In the Host box, type the host name that you got from the Dynamic DNS service provider (for example mywebpage.dyndns.org).
9Click Apply.
