Unfortunately, with the cheap & nasty ISP our company is using, the IP address can change much more frequently than that!

But as long as you set it to the maximum value (14400 minutes - 10 days) they don't seem to mind. You will always get some unnecessary updates if the router reboots etc.grnglide wrote:

Answered your own question there - get a decent ISP
Virgin home connection are all dynamic but all (that I have come across) ADSL suppliers have a static IP options some way or another.

Just use DtDNS and drop DynDNS. You will never get any problems.

I use dyndns with my 2910VG. Not had any problems with them EXCEPT that as I'm a cable user my IP hardly (if) ever changes... as a result I have to manually log into dyndns monthly to prevent my account expiring as they think there hasn't been any activity!

The real problem is twofold:m0thr4 wrote:
1. The Vigor 2820 only supports updating DynDNS on a regular basis, rather than when the IP address is detected as having changed. This breaks the first rule of their abuse policy: "Client updates at regular intervals: Clients should only send updates when a change is detected, but some are programmed to send updates at scheduled intervals, e.g. every five minutes or every hour."
2. Draytek routers are not officially supported by DnyDNS (seehttps://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/hardware/ ), probably as a result of point 1.
I have set the update interval to 1440 (= 24 hours) and will see how I get on.

That is an advantage of DtDNS. Your account won't expire and you won't get abuse messages.
