          heres what you do:

          enter everything like normal but leave host name blank.

          go to freedns.afraid.com and click dynamic dns
          you then see your domains you are using, click the direct url link, in the address bar you will see the following:
          http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?randomstring

          copy the random string (everything after the ?) and paste that into hostname, freedns will now update.
