<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I then installed the ubuntu ddclient (going from memory, I cannot access<br>
my server bc of the cursed problem), and it sends my local private ip up<br>
to dyndns.<br>
<br>
Whats the best practice now for using dyndns?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Basically, you need to tell ddclient to use the public IP address scraped from
your router's status page or from DynDNS's CheckIP service, instead of using the IP address reported by your hardware.<br>
