If this is the case you should be able to configure it to forward the ports you need to the correct machine. If this is not the case please explain your local network and how it connects to the Internet. You will have to update your DnYDNS account either by a configuration change to the router /switch (if that is what it is) or by runnign an application on a computer.the dnydns web site has a listing of such applications. I my case I have custom DnYDns and my ADSL modem switch router does the updateing.
