I installed ddclient and it appears to be doing it the "wrong" way.
You configured ddclient the wrong way.
Assuming dyndns.org, they provide a URL that prints out your current
external IP:
http://checkip.dyndns.org
There's a 'use' line in the default ddclient.conf config file made
specifically to take advantage of this:
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address' # found after
IP Address
With that configured, ddclient will check that webpage hourly and
compare the result with the last known IP address. If it changes, it
updates dyndns.org.
Read through that config file and you'll get the idea. It works quite
well from behind NAT.
That said, if you have a router with a dynamic DNS client built in,
why not use that?
