DNS - Dynamic DNS
[edit] Overview
Many DSL and cable broadband connections use dynamic IP addresses or cryptic hostnames like CPE0000C0F9AFEB.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com -- not particularly convenient! Once you activate your system, you can map a permanent domain name to your ClarkConnect system's changing IP address.
[edit] Activation
- Login to your account
- Click on Systems in the top navigation bar
- Select the target system from the list of active systems in your account
- Click on Network/Dynamic DNS in the menu
[edit] Configuration
[edit] Enable/Disable
If you have a static IP address, you can disable the Dynamic DNS service by specifying an IP or hostname.
[edit] Subdomain and Domain
To use the free dynamic DNS service, type a subdomain that you desire and then select a domain from list. The subdomain can be left blank if you have registered your own domain.
[edit] IP Address
The dynamic DNS system does IP address updates automatically. However, you can manually update the IP address from the configuration page.
[edit] Personal Domains
If you have registered your own domain in the past or you are considering registering a domain to use with your server, the dynamic DNS service is fully integrated into ClarkConnect's Domains and DNS services. If you aready own a domain, you'll need to purchase DNS Service. If you need to register a domain, you can do so here.
