Do you have the no-ip program running on a PC on your network? It has to be running in order for it
to update the no-ip servers...
I installed no-ip as a system service so it starts automatically when I start/restart/reboot my
PC...Its called NoIPDUCService and should indicate a "Started" state in the service list. I also
have it set to start "Automatically". To check that go to "Start -> Run" and type services.msc at
the command prompt. Scroll down till you find the NoIPDUCService...
You might want to look at the no-ip support pages for further help...
