Using a Dynamic DNS Service

If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can

Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you do

not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this

case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service, which allows you to register your domain

to their IP address, and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP

address.

Your router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided by

DynDNS.org. You must first visit their website at www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and host

name, which you specify in the router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes,

your router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and

registers your new IP address. If your host name is hostname, for example, you can reach your

router at hostname.dyndns.org.

Note: The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts

the router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration

and force a DHCP release and renew.

Note: If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the

Dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses are not routed on

the Internet.
