You are using "syslog=yes". So have a look at your logfiles for error or
success messages.

Are you using OrgDNS or dyndns? A few line down you mention that your
domain is "soundgigi.dyndns.org". So I would use the configuration part
for dyndns (especially the server). And please change the password
before anyone on the list does it for you ;-)

If your router answers to pings yes. It's perhaps safer to do a
dns lookup for "soundgigi.dyndns.org" after you connected. It should
point to the IP that you are using at the moment.
A ping to that adress might go to another host so it's not a proof that
everything worked.

yes.
