Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router Dynamic DNS Your router supports Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). In a Dynamic DNS service, an IP registry server provides a public central database where dynamically-assigned IP addresses can be stored and retrieved by hostname lookup. The Dynamic DNS server also stores password-protected e-mail addresses along with IP addresses and hostnames and accepts queries based on e-mail addresses. To utilize this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS service provider, who will give you a password or key. At this time, the Model MR314 router only supports DynDNS service. For more information, visit www.dyndns.org. The configuration fields for Dynamic DNS are shown in Table 5-1: Table 5-1. Dynamic DNS configuration fields Field Active Service Provider Host Name E-Mail Address User Password Enable Wildcard Description Use this field to activate or deactivate dynamic DNS registration. Select a dynamic DNS service provider. Enter the static host name that will link to your dynamic IP address. Enter your email address for administrative contact. Enter the user name of your dynamic DNS account. Enter the password of your dynamic DNS account. DynDNS.org allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL. Enabling the wildcard feature for your host will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. Password Select the Password tab to change your router's management password. This is the password to access the router for configuration, not for Internet access.
