DESCRIPTION

Host Name

The host name is the domain name that the DDNS service will map to your dynamic global

 

IP address. Type the host name fully qualified, for example, ‘yourhost.mydomain.net’. You

 

can specify up to two host names in the field separated by a comma (",").

 

 

User Name

Type the user name that you used when you registered with the DDNS service.

 

 

Password

Type the password associated with the DDNS user name.

 

 

Timeout

This is the length of time in hours between updates to the DDNS service. If the update fails,

 

the NBG-418N will disable DDNS.

 

 

Enable

Select this if your DDNS service provider supports use of a wildcard (*) that will allow

Wildcard Option

‘*.yourhost.dyndns.org’ (where * may be the name of a web, mail, FTP etc. server in your

 

network) to be mapped to the same IP address as ‘yourhost.dyndns.org’. This feature is

 

useful when there are multiple servers in your network and you want users to be able to use

 

different domain names to reach them.
