Thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions. The situation is that I enabled remote access on my router before leaving home, it doesn't have a firewall as far as I know (it's a very old SMC Barricade!), but I still can't access the router set up page, presumably because of the dynamic IP address issue. But since I'm not at home, and don't have remote access (hence this query), it would seem as though I can't get the DynDNS system operational from afar.

As for using ftp, I had the same NAS box set up as ftp back up storage on a cable internet system in Poland and it worked just fine without any problems. And I could log into the router without any difficulty. But I think it had a static IP address which may have made the difference.
