However if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address you do not know in advance what your IP address will be and the address can change frequently In this case you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service This type of service lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192 168 x x or 10 x x x the Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet Your router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided by DynDNS org First visit their website at http Avww dyndns org and obtain an account and host name that you configure in the router Then whenever your ISP assigned IP address changes your router contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider logs in to your account Advanced Settings 102 N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4300 and registers your new IP address If your host name is hostname for example you can reach your router at http hostname dyndns org On the Advanced tab select Advanced Setup gt Dynamic DNS to display the following screen EZET OLO GE ANE Use a Dynamic DNS Service Service Provider www DynDNS org iy Host Name User Name Password gt To set up Dynamic DNS 1 Register for an account with one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appe

However some application servers such as FTP and IRC servers send replies to multiple port numbers Using the port triggering function of your router you can tell the router to open additional incoming ports when a particular outgoing port originates a session Advanced Settings 95 N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4300 An example is Internet Relay Chat IRC Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667 The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port but also sends an identify message to your computer on port 113 Using port triggering you can tell the router When you initiate a session with destination port 6667 you have to also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer Using steps similar to the preceding example the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you have defined 1 You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer 2 Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port number of 6667 the standard port number for an IRC server process Your computer then sends this request message to your router 3 Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication session between your computer and the IRC server Your router stores the original information performs Network Address Translation NAT on the source address and port
