for URL you can leave it set to URL: /nic/update?&wildcard=ON&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG&hostname=
hope this helps.
What is the difference between this, and using...

/nic/update?hostname=
Is one better than the other? I have everything else figured out.
Thanks!
Those extra things are just parameters used by most dynamic dns services. wildcard=ON enables the wildcard option. The ones with MX are all set to NOCHG which means no changes are made to them.
Let me paste some information directly from dyndns.com
Wildcard:
Allows any fourth-level (and deeper) hostnames to be resolved. If wildcard is disabled, names like www.yourname.example.org will not work.
Mail Routing Parameters:
If you would like to set MX (Mail eXchanger) records for your hostname, check "Yes, let me configure Email routing" box. When this is checked, we will publish MX records for your hostname.
Then enter "MX Hostname" where you must use a host (A) record of the server that will process mail for yourhostname.example.org.
When the server you specify is only a backup MX (MX with less priority), change selection to the "Backup" option. We will create a primary MX record assigned to your current hostname and secondary record entered in "MX Hostname". For more information, see Email, Mail Exchangers, and DNS article. _________________ [everything is to be replicate]
Okay, so to bump this thread, I've run into another problem.
Up till now, DNSOMATIC would automatically update my IPs using the commands I was given in this thread.
Since June 6, according to my history, it hasn't updated. I have had to manually refresh through OpenDNS a couple times now to update the IP addresses.
What could possibly have changed? I'm using the WRT54G2 v1 firmware, and I would update, but I can't find a newer version.
Could something else be creating this problem. I set up a router for a customer yesterday, and under the DDNS tab, I'm only getting 'connecting to server.'

I should mention that I only have sp1 flashed.
Should I be using sp2? Where do I find it?
You should read the "Peacock" thread for answers to that question. That thread tells all. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

*PLEASE* upgrade PAST v24SP1 or no support.
I'm still using a SP1 release on one router, and I notice it doesn't update there.
The router with the SP2 release DOES update, almost instantly.
Would upgrading solve it?
I'm asking because the SP1 release is a router I sold to a customer 2 days ago. I'm just wondering if I should switch routers, and reflash the SP1 with SP2.
Just wanted to post and say THANK YOU! This thread helped me big time. _________________ CCIE & 10+ Year DD-WRT User

As an update to this, I have switched over to the dns-O-matic service and it works quite well. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

Your post says all. This part "INADYN: Error validating DYNDNS svr answer. Check usr,pass,hostname!" is what you should look at. It means you either have a bad user name, bad password, or a bad host name. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26
