DSL-G624T Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
Dynamic DNS
The Router supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service). The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic
public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, allowing access to a
specified host from various locations on the Internet. This is enabled to allow remote access to a host by
clicking a hyperlinked URL in the form
hostname.dyndns.org
, Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using
DHCP, this can make it difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN using standard DNS. If for example
you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, this ensures that the host can be located
from the Internet if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the
supported DDNS providers.
