CHAPTER 20

Dynamic DNS Setup

This chapter discusses how to configure your ZyXEL Device to use dynamic DNS.

20.1 Dynamic DNS Overview

Dynamic DNS allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or many

dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.). You

can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a domain name (for

instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that stays the same instead

of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will

always be able to call you even if they don't know your IP address.

First of all, you need to have registered a dynamic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. This is

for people with a dynamic IP from their ISP or DHCP server that would still like to have a

domain name. The dynamic DNS service provider will give you a password or key.

20.1.1 DYNDNS Wildcard

Enabling the wildcard feature for your host causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the

same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. This feature is useful if you want to be able to use,

for example, www.yourhost.dyndns.org and still reach your hostname.

If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS.

See Section 20.2 on page 285 for configuration instruction.

20.2 Configuring Dynamic DNS

To change your ZyXEL Device’s DDNS, click Advanced > Dynamic DNS. The screen

appears as shown.

See Section 20.1 on page 285 for more information.
