Media Server User’s Guide

Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with a dynamic DNS service so 
that anyone can contact you (such as through NetMeeting or CUSeeMe). 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.
