        Hi,
        thats, because the dyndns update service is just triggered once a day at 3am from a cronjob.
        Follow this steps, to fix your problem:

        1. Install the Cron package
        2. Go to Service --> Cron
        3. Change the hour and the minute from the "/usr/bin/nice -n20 /etc/rc.dyndns.update" entry, to "" "".
          After this change, the DNYDNS service will check your gateway IP address every minute and update it if necessary.
          Sure you can change the values from point 3 to every value you need!
          Regards
          Crysion

            Your DynDNS is configured on the GW Group you are using as "interface to monitor"?

              Yep. I made the changes to Cron suggested by @Crysion but haven't had a chance to test it out yet. Hopefully that resolves it.

                Unfortunately, changing the cron timing didn't seem to make any difference

                  @Ximulate,
                  on which interface your dyndns is listening? I had to configure the LAN Device, to get it work.

                    Interesting. Thanks. I had it set to the gateway group. Just switched to LAN, but it may be awhile before I can test it again.
