When I made change as you mentioned above and particularly like this ;
use=fw, fw=192.168.1.1/Status.htm, fw-skip='IP Address' # found
after IP Address
The ddclient this time passed out the message :
SUCCESS: updating MyAccountName.dyndns.org: good: IP address set to
192.168.1.1.
This time it updated the IP address database record with my router's LAN
IP address 192.168.1.1 instead of taking the WAN IP address. So what did
I miss?
