linksys 4200 and ddclient in ubuntu server 10.04

[rontopia]

I am trying to host my domain on my linuxserver at home. I am using ddclient for dynamic ip through zoneedit. I would use dyndns but it not free for dynamic ip.. if it is please tell me how. anyway this is the ddclient.conf

daemon=300
pid=var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=zoneedit1
#use=web, web=http//legacy.zoneedit.com/checkip.html
use=web, if=eth0, web='http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/checkip.html',web-skip='IP Address'
server=dynamic.zoneedit.com
login=myusername
password=^%$&#^#&*
domain.info

the responce I get in the /var/log/daemon.log is

May 13 22:47:49 morganland avahi-daemon[1048]: Received response from host 192.168.1.1 with invalid source port 32768 on interface 'eth0.0'

I have done several searches and found that many people with e4200's have this problem of not being able to get out of the network. I have DDNS set to disable. Im not a networking guy so I need a little help. and please forgive if this has alread been solved. I like this router but Im not appoase to getting something else if I cant host my own domain name.

any help?

The error message in the log is from the avahi-daemon, i.e. mDNS server, caused by the E4200 sending out messages with invalid source port 32768 which should be silently ignored by the avahi-daemon (which it unfortunately does not).

But that has nothing to do with ddclient.

ok.. how do i fix it?

so this has nothing to do with my zoneedit account not getting updated with my dynamic ip?

No. It shouldn't. Look at the verbose ddclient messages and find out what's going wrong.

ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet

[rontopia]

so here at the top is says that the login is invalid. think thats it?

ron@morganland:~$ sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet

What is morganland.info? It's not mentioned in your config?

ddclient says the login name is invalid. Looks like the login name is actually missing.
