Dynamic IP
Often times Dynamic IP addresses can cause conflicts when trying to connect to DVR(s) on a
high speed internet connection. With new router technology (DDNS), it allows you to
overcome this problem. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic
Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own DVR, website, FTP server, or
other server behind the Router. Before using this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS
service at www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com. (Preferred routers: Linksys BEFSR41 V3 or
DLINK DI624 or any router that offers DDNS.
