6. Type the Host Name that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.

The dynamic DNS service provider may call this the domain name. If your URL is

myName.dyndns.org, then your Host Name is “myName.”

7. Type the User Name for your dynamic DNS account.

8. Type the Password (or key) for your dynamic DNS account.

9. If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can

select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.

For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same

IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org

10. Click Apply to save your configuration.

Using Static Routes

Static Routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances,

the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and

you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for

unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.

Static Route Example

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

• Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.

• You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are

employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 10.1.1.100.

• Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.

When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was

created with your ISP as the modem router, and a second static route was created to your local

network for all 10.1.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the

134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your

request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the

company’s firewall.

In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed

through the ISDN router at 10.1.1.100. The static route would look like Figure 7-5.
