We use a numeric IP address allocated by Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect to Internet; the address may either be stable ("static"), or may change from one session on the Internet to the next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to remember; an address which changes unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS provider allocates a static host name to the user; whenever the user is allocated a new IP address this is communicated to the DDNS provider by software running on a computer or network device at that address; the provider distributes the association between the host name and the address to the Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries. Thus, uninterrupted access to devices and services whose numeric IP address may change is maintained. Click Advanced -> DDNS to enter the DDNS screen. Tip--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. To use the DDNS feature, you need to have an account with one of the Service Providers in the drop-down menu first.
                                                       III Features & Configurations           59 2. This router supports five DDNS service providers: dyndns and no-ip. DDNS Application Example: If your ISP gave you a dynamic (changing) public IP address, you want to access your router remotely (6.5  Remote Web Management)  but  you cannot  predict what  your router's WAN IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. It lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address. If you obtain the following account from your dyndns.org service provider: User Name: tenda Password: 123456 Domain Name: tenda.dyndns.org. You want to use the PC at 218.58.98.3 to remotely access this router on port number 8090.   Configuration Procedures: ① DDNS Service: Select Enable. ② Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the drop-down menu. Here in this example, select dyndns. ③ User Name: Enter the DDNS user name registered with your DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda. ④ Password: Enter the DDNS Password registered with your DDNS service provider. Here in this example, enter 123456.

Here in this example, enter tenda.dyndns.org. ⑥ Click Save to save your settings. ⑦ Click Security -> Remote Web Management, enable the Remote Web Management feature, enter 8090 in the Port field, 218.58.98.3 in the IP Address field and then click Save to save your settings.  When the Connection Status on this DDNS page displays Connected,  you can access your router  from  the  Internet  by  typing  your  router’s  domain  name  into  your  browser’s  address  or location field on your PC (218.58.98.3) followed by a colon (:) and the remote management port number. Here in this example, enter http://tenda.dyndns.org:8090. 5.2 Port Forwarding You want to share resources on your PC with your friends who are not in your LAN. But, by default, the router's firewall blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies to your outbound traffic. You can use the Port Forwarding feature to create exceptions to this rule so that your friends can access these files from external networks. When accessing your PC from Internet, type "protocol://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port  number"  into your browser’s address or location field. The protocol and port are the ones used by the service and "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the WAN IP address of your router. For example, a FTP server uses the ftp protocol and 21 (standard port number).
                                                       III Features & Configurations           61 Click Advanced -> Port Forwarding to enter the configuration screen.  Application Example: As shown in the figure above, your PC at 192.168.0.10 connects to the router and runs a FTP server on port number 21. Your friends want to access this FTP server on your PC from external network. Tip-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To successfully implement the port forwarding feature, note below: 1.  Make  sure  your  WAN  IP  address  (Internet  IP  address)  is  a  public  IP  address.  Private  IP addresses are not routed on the Internet. 2. Make sure you enter correct service port numbers. 3.  To  ensure  that  your  server  computer  always  has  the  same  IP  address,  assign  a  static  IP address to your PC. 4.  Operating  System  built-in  firewall  and  some  anti-virus  programs may  block  other  PCs  from accessing resources on your PC. So it is advisable to disable them before using this feature.
                                                       III Features & Configurations           62  Configuration Procedures: ① Start Port: Enter the starting port number for the service. Here in this example, enter 21. End Port: Enter the ending port number for the service.
