DynDNS with dynamic dns and ddclient

[npereira]

Anyone uses the ddclient to update their dynamic dns account?

I keep getting an error that says cannot update to
members.dyndns.org with socket. Anyone know what
the configuration issue could be?

Here is a copy of my ddclient.conf with parts ommited for obvious reasons;
