ddclient - login si invalid

I installed ddclient and edit ddclient.conf I'm using freedns.afraid.org
Code:
protocol=freedns                               
#proxy=fasthttp.sympatico.ca:80                 # default proxy
server=freedns.afraid.org                       # default server
#server=members.dyndns.org:8245                 # default server (bypassing proxies)
robertobalu.com.crabdance.com  # kde treba tu moju domenu specifikovat???
robertobalu.com.chickenkiller.com

login=my_login_name_at_freedns.afraid.org      
password=my_pass

Code:
]WARNING:  skipping host: robertobalu.com.chickenkiller.com: 'login=' is an invalid login.
WARNING:  skipping host: robertobalu.com.crabdance.com: 'login=' is an invalid login.
I chcecked the login info many times and it's 100% correct

If you look closer, you'll see that it says that 'login=' is an invalid login. That is, an empty string is not a valid login, which certainly is true.

The order of parameters in ddclient.conf is important. You need to define the "login" and "password" parameter before specifying the server(s).

If you've told ddclient how to determine the system's IP address, you didn't include that part in the (excerpt from?) ddclient.conf you posted initially.

There's supposed to be a "use=" parameter telling ddclient how to obtain the external IP address to be used when updating dynamic DNS records. It then writes that value to the file /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, to avoid unnecessarily updating the DNS record(s) if the IP address hasn't changed since ddclient last ran. As it currently can't find that IP address, the corresponding field in the cache file is empty.

Try adding "use=web", or "use=if" if the public IP address is directly assigned to an interface on your box. Se this page for more information about ddclient.

so I set
Code:
use=web, web=mydomainname
I set ddclient as a cron job to run every minute so my IP will be upadated at freedns.afraid.org, but when I run
Code:
 ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet
I get unable to determine IP adress warning
Code:

You're not supposed to specify your own web page as the "web=" parameter. The idea is to point the script at a web page that reports the IP address of the client back to it.

If you omit the "web=" parameter, the script should use a web page provided by DynDNS as a default. That ought to work.

thanks I solve it I set
Code:
use=vigor-2200usb, fw=192.168.1.1:80
fw-login=user,  fw-password=myrooter_pass
(even if I've vigor 2700 but if the older is supported why the newer shouldn't be ) and it works fine
