DDNS Configuration & Troubleshooting

G'day Everyone,

I am kind of struggling here and really don't know where to turn to next and I was hoping if I threw my question amongst all you Cisco guru's you might be able to point me in the right direction. My apologies in advance if this is in the wrong group.

The problem I am having is with DDNS (Dynamic DNS). I have read the configuration guides and they all seemed pretty straight forward. My problem is that my DDNS configuration just doesn't update the 3rd party service I am trying to configure. No matter which service I try to use (OpenDNS, NoIP, DnsOMatic, etc..) they all fail with HTTPDNSUPD: Call returned Connection time out.

I am hoping you all might be able to point out the glaring mistake I have made with my config as I have typed it and retyped it and still cannot get it working. I am trying to get this set up on my home Cisco1841 (C1841-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 15.1(4)M8.

Here is my configuration that I have tried getting going with a 3rd party provider called NoIp.com. The username is formatted as an email address and I have tried using both email@address.com and email%40address.com with no luck.

& updates the IP address of hostname home-gw.no-ip.org

If anyone can see any flaws in this config I would be so happy and appreciative. This has been driving me crazy for days now.

Many thanks in advance,
