Netgear FVS318v1 – Prosafe Wireless N VPN Firewall Manual De Referência

Advanced WAN and LAN Configuration

5-11

If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have 
that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your 
Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your 
IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial 
dynamic DNS service, who will allow you to register your domain to their IP address, and will 
forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently-changing IP address. 

The Firewall contains a client that can connect to a dynamic DNS service provider. To use this 
feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have 
configured your account information in the Firewall, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address 
changes, your Firewall will automatically contact your dynamic DNS service provider, log in to 
your account, and register your new IP address.
