and we replace these IP numbers to easy remember names, which are organized into
the domain name. As to ADSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic IP
addresses. If users want to set up a web or a FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain
Name Server is necessary. For more DDNS configuration, please consult your local

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use
to connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes,
or dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes,
depends on your ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may
not know what your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your network
over the Internet. The solution to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a
dynamic DNS service.

The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP
addresses. Domain names, such as www.veo.com, are just easy to remember aliases
for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of
updating your IP address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address
changes. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet and best
of all they’re free to use. Two such services you can use are www.no-ip.com and
www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name
of your choice to begin using it. Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed

A DDNS service works by uploading your WAN IP address to its servers periodically.
Your gateway-router may support DDNS directly, in which case you can enter your
DDNS account information into your router and it will update the DDNS servers
automatically when your IP address changes. Please consult your router’s
documentation for more information. If your router does not support DDNS, you can run
a small client utility on any PC on your network which will perform the updating. The
client utility is usually provided for free by the service.
