Setting up a default DMZ server

Dear Gurus!

 

How do I identify the external IP address by which my DMZ server can be reached? Is it the one shown in the Advansed->Remote Management->Remote Management Address section?

 

Also, my WAN IP is not 'permanent' as per the contract, so is the name that I obtain with 'nslookup' for that address permanent at all?

 

Thank you!

Yes, your external IP address can be found there.

 

The name you can lookup for that is also dynamic - so you can't use that.

 

You'll need to use a Dynamic DNS service for that.

For that you'll need to sign up with one of the services. Some are free some paid for.

When your router IP changes it informs the service of the new IP that is then attached to the name you have chosen.
