Wireless Router User Guide Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) This free service is very usef ul when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Vi rtual Serv ers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynami c IP address.
Advanced Features DDNS Status • This message is returned by the DDNS Server • Normally, this me ssage should be "Update successful" or something similar. This indicates the current IP address was updated on the DDNS server. • If the message is "No host", this indicates the ho st name entered was not allocated to you.
Wireless Router User Guide Advanced Internet Screen This screen allows configuration of all advanced features relating to Internet access. • Comm unication Applicat ions • Special Applications • DMZ • Multi-DMZ An example screen is shown below.
