External IP not updating with dyndns

Hi

I have setup dyndns.org using the in-built wizard thingo in the server setup console, but for some reason its not updating my external ip address, I have to do it manually through the dyndns.org

Is their away to fix this so it automatically updates it as its getting a bit annoying.

Everything is correct the username and password that I have setup for dyndns in the sme server.

But it shows the correct ip address when I go into the Web-Based SME Server Manager. and go to the review configuration.

Is their away to fix this. Is their some little thing I need to change in sme server. Is their a log that I can have a look at to see if its displaying errors when trying to update or something.

Go to this thread and read through, there are hints. Seems like you have to use a helper program called ddclient: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=28188.msg117015#msg117015
