TRENDnet TW100-BRV204 manual Dynamic DNS Domain Name Server, Dynamic DNS Screen, DDNS Service

Internet Features

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet 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 register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org (Registration is free). Your password will be E-mailed to you.

2.After registration, use the "Create New Host" option (at www.dyndns.org) to request your desired Domain name.

3.Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in the TW100-BRV204 's DDNS screen.

4.The TW100-BRV204 will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at http://www.dyndns.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.
