CHAPTER 13 Dynamic DNS Setup This chapter discusses how to configure your ZyXEL Device to use Dynamic DNS. 13.1 Dynamic DNS Overview 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. 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 domain name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key. 13.1.1 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. If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS. See Section 13.2 on page 165 for configuration instruction. 13.2 Configuring Dynamic DNS To change your ZyXEL Device's DDNS, click Advanced > Dynamic DNS. The screen appears as shown. See Section 13.1 on page 165 for more information. P-660H-Tx v2 User's Guide 165

Dynamic DNS Setup

This chapter discusses how to configure your ZyXEL Device to use Dynamic DNS.

13.1

Dynamic DNS Overview

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.

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

domain name. The Dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.

13.1.1

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.

If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.
