Re: ddclient is definitely not updating my dynamic IP address

When I made change as you mentioned above and particularly like this ;

Is the above address the exact address to get to your status page?  Sure
it's not like mine or whatever yours is?  I am using the wireless/
ethernet combo router as well.

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?

Like I said above, check what the exact address is to your status page
that shows the WAN address settings (on mine, this is all it shows, even
the LAN info is not on this page, just WAN info).

This is the exactl address I copied from the address box in the Mozilla browser when I entered the Status page;
http://192,168.1.1/Status.html, and the contents in this page are;
Host name; (empty)
Firmware version; xxxxxxx
Login : PPPoE
Status : CONNECTED

LAN:     IP address :  192.168.1.1
               Subnet     :   255.255.255.0
               DHCP server: Enabled.

WAN:  IP address :  xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
            DNS : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
                       xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Do I have to turn off the DHCP server?
