Basic Setting > Network > DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server
Setting)
The IP address (Ex. 210.168.0.22) is like a telephone number, while the website address is like a
name in an address book. The DDNS allows the user to access the website by entering the name of
the website without memorizing a bunch of cold numbers.
When you apply for an Internet service, you will have at least one IP address from your ISP that
is either xed or dynamic. Most of the ADSL service providers will give you a dynamic IP for ADSL
environments, which means your IP address will constantly change each time you connect to the
Internet. As a result, users from WAN environments will have much difculty nding the correct IP
address. The DDNS (Dynamic DNS service) is created for exactly this kind of moment. By updating
your WAN IP address each time you connect to the Internet, the DDNS helps you locate your
website and access your website easily. You can nd a lot of free DDNS service providers on the
Internet, such as www.no-ip.com and www.DynDNS.org.
Some gateway-routers can directly communicate with DDNS. In this case, you may directly enter
your DDNS account on the setting page in the Internet router, then the router will update your WAN
IP status whenever it is changed and report to the DDNS. If your router does not support direct
communication with the DDNS, you can download a small application program on the DDNS service
page to help you update your WAN IP.
