Advanced Features

This Chapter explains when and how to use the Wireless ADSL Router's

"Advanced" Features.

Overview

The following advanced features are provided:

• Dynamic DNS

• Firewall Rules and Services

• Scheduling

• URL filter

• Virtual Servers

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows

Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.

This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your

IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.

The DynDNS Service works as follows:

1. You must register for the service at http://www.dyndns.org (Registration is free). Your

password will be E-mailed to you.

2. After registration, use the "Create New Host" option (at www.dyndns.org) to request your

desired Domain name.

3. Enter your data from www.dyndns.org in the Wireless ADSL Router's DDNS screen.

4. The Wireless ADSL Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is

recorded at http://www.dyndns.org

5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC)

using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
