Dynamic DNS Configuration

In this dialog, configure the updates of your dynamic DNS host names. The update of the host name with your current dynamic IP address takes place every time you dial up to the Internet.

To use this service, first register with a dynamic DNS provider, who will assign you a login name and a password with which to administer one or several dynamic DNS host names.

Providers make these services available in various scopes, some free of charge, other against payment of a fee. Some of the providers or services enable additional settings, such as the use of wild cards and the specification of a mail server or a backup mail server:

Host Name
Enter the host name registered with the dynamic DNS provider or a comma-separated list of host names here.
Note:The provider www.dslreports.com assigns unequivocal numbers instead of a host name. Enter this number in the input field for host names.
Wild Card
This switch enables the use of the dynamic DNS host name as a sort of subdomain.
For example, if your host name is yourhostname.dyndns.org, the names www.yourhostname.dyndns.org and ftp.yourhostname.dyndns.org also point to yourhostname.dyndns.org.
Mail Server
Here, specify the host name of a mail server that should receive e-mail for your registered host name (e.g., a mail server of your provider). Normally e-mail messages are delivered directly.
Attention: The mail server of the provider must be configured correctly and accept e-mail for your registered host name.
Backup Mail Server
This switch causes the host specified under Mail Server to be used as backup mail server. Your host name with dynamic IP address will be used as primary mail server.
Update Mode
DynDNS.org offers three dynamic DNS modes. Select the setting that is suitable for the utilized mode at DynDNS.org.
