A DNS (Domain Name Service) resolves an Internet address such as www.usr.com into an IP address. A dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a Web name like myUSRgateway.dynDNS.com to your gateway, making it accessible from the Internet without having to know the gateway's IP address assigned by the service provider.
In this page, you can set parameters that will allow the domain name services to find your gateway. You would use this to bypass the dynamic nature of WAN IP addressing, to have a consistent host name accessible from the Internet.
Note: You will need dynamic DNS service provided by a third party to use this feature.
Click Add.
Select your DNS provider. You can register at DynDNS.org,TZO.com, DtDNS.com, and No-IP.com for no charge.

To remove a dynamic DNS assignment, select Remove next to the DNS assignment and click Apply.
To manage your Dynamic DNS account, click the Account Management link to be taken to the Dynamic DNS provider's website.
Note: You need to click Save to save all your new settings and reboot the gateway after you have completed all your changes.
