If you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP. 2.8.1 Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) 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 or other services). You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for example, myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) which 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. 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 Prestige supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this service provider for Dynamic DNS service. DYNDNS Wildcard Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname. 2.8.2 Procedure For Configuring Menu 1 Step 1.

Hardware Installation & Initial Setup

•

In Windows 2000, click

Start

Settings

Control

Panel

and then double-click

System

. Click the

Network

Identification

tab and then the

Properties

button. Note the entry for the

Computer name

field and enter it as the

System Name

•

In Windows XP, click

Start, Control Panel, System

. Click the

Computer Name

tab. Note the

entry for the

Computer Description

field and enter this entry as the

System Name

The

Domain Name

entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, the

domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (

System Name

)

on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.

2.8.1 Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) 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

or other services).

You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for

example,

myhost.dhs.org

, where

myhost

is a name of your choice) which 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.

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 Prestige supports www.dyndns.org. You can apply to this

service provider for Dynamic DNS service.

DYNDNS Wildcard

Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes

yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address

as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use, for example,

www

.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.
