(you just have to change ###password### for you real password ... simple but i made the mistake lol).

EDIT : you just have to check that the 'lines' are correct in their \ (and the carriage return) ; because the automatic config file obtained can have few mistakes (that's why i didn't pay attention on changing password). Just rearrange it, it's easy.

But today I got this from dyn.com (former DynDNS.org):
If you would like to maintain your free Dyn account, you must log into your account once a month. Note that using an update client will no longer suffice for this monthly login. You will still continue to get email alerts every 30 days if your email address is current. Failure to login once per month will result in expiration and loss of your hostname.
They are forcing their active users to become paying customers. In other words dyn.com is dying.
