Dynamic IP Setting
WHAT IS A DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS?
A Dynamic IP Address is an IP (Internet Protocol) address that changes each time you connect to the internet. This cuts down
on the number of IP addresses large consumer providers need because not all of their customers are using the service at any
given time. It also cuts down on bandwidth usage by preventing consumers from hosting servers. Note: a number of
companies have started to offer services aimed at updating DNS for dynamically connected clients.
STEP 1: SOFTWARE INSTALLATION – DYNAMIC IP SETTING:
Follow the same procedure as outlined on Page 19 for the Static IP Setting.
STEP 2: DDNS REGISTRATION FOR A DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS:
