Dynamic DNS Setup 

       8-1 

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.  

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. 

To change your Prestige’s DDNS, click Dynamic DNS. The screen appears as shown. 

 

The following table describes the fields in this screen.
