DynDNS.org Dynamic DNS

Just setup a DynDNS.org Dynamic DNS domain, was pretty straight forward except my D-LINK DI-524 router couldn't support it. DynDNS suggests NOT to use hardware to keep the DDNS link updated, as they say software update is much more reliable. I didn't like the idea of needing a computer on to have the DDNS updated and also would not update by itself after a power outage since no PC would be on.

I did have a hard time finding the settings for it so I'll post here for my own reference that DynDNS' server address should be www.dyndns.com
