You can select Yes in either the DDNS Server
Auto Detect IP Address field (recommended) or
the Use Specified IP Address field, but not both.
With the DDNS Server Auto Detect IP Address
and Use Specified IP Address fields both set to
No, the DDNS server automatically updates the IP
address of the host names with the Business

DDNS does not work with a private IP address.
When both fields are set to No, the Business
Secure Router must have a public WAN IP
address in order for DDNS to work.
