select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.
For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same
IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org.

Using Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances,
the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and
you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for
unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
• You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are
employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
• Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local network for
all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the
134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request
to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s
firewall.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed
through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The static route would look like Figure 5-7.
In this example:
• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies
to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address fields specify that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
