help with setup for ddclient with linksys router


I cant get ddclient to work I am using fedora 5 and used the yum install ddclient

I then created the config file and placed it in /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf and /etc/ddclient.

The file looks like this
#-----------------startfile--------------------------------------------
daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds
syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog
mail=root # mail all msgs to root
mail-failure=root # mail failed update msgs to root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file.
ssl=yes # use ssl-support. Works with
# ssl-library

use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.org/, web-skip='IP Address' # found after IP Address


server=members.easydns.com,
protocol=easydns,
login=jones,
password=kernalsanders
www.nemeciomartin.com

#---------------------endfile---------------------------------------

I dont even know if it is automatically running or if i need to enter a command to get it running. All I know is that www.nemeciomartin.com isn't up. can you please help!!!

Have you checked in your router configuration for any settings related to dynamic dns. In mine (Dlink DI-524) I have a DDNS tab where I can set up for either DynDns.org, no-ip.com, hn.org or zoneedit.org perhaps it is similar in your router.
