I have used DynDNS for the past few years with Comcast.  I have a
Linksys router (Vonage) that for a long time would not update
automatically.  I would manually update when I received a warning email
from DynDNS.  I wish I could tell you how I fixed it, but I stopped
receiving those emails; the router seems to be updating automatically.
I am not sure why.
