CHAPTER 17 Dynamic DNS 17.1 Overview Dynamic DNS (DDNS) services let you use a domain name with a dynamic IP address. 17.2 What You Can Do Use the Dynamic DNS screen (Section 17.4 on page 123) to enable DDNS and configure the DDNS settings on the NBG. 17.3 What You Need To Know Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address. 17.4 Dynamic DNS Screen To change your NBG's DDNS, click Network > DDNS. The screen appears as shown. Figure 93 Network > DDNS NBG6515 User's Guide 123
