ZyWALL 50 Internet Security Gateway

First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a DNS name.

To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key. The ZyWALL supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this service provider for Dynamic DNS service.
