► WHAT IS DDNS?
DDNS provides a static domain name to those who have high-speed connection or use leased
lines with a dynamic Internet Protocol address. A dynamic IP address resolves the problem
stemming from the limited number of IP addresses. A dynamic IP address is given to users of
high-speed networks service and cable modems. Recently, even businesses that connect to the
web through leased lines use DHCP due to depletion of IP addresses. Almost all the PCs have a
dynamic IP address, which means that their IP address changes every time users turn on their
computer or log on to the Internet.
[Fig. 3-20 DDNS Setup]
Domain Name System (DNS) translates a domain name like www.yahoo.com into a numeric IP
address. However, the DNS works only with static IP addresses. For this reason, most of PCs
- 27 -
with a dynamic IP address cannot provide various Internet services such as running a
homepage.
At the time of writing, user can select one of four DDNS service provider. If you are using
dynamic IP, please select one from your providers and sign up.
