As I can see, you have more than two "Static DNS" slots in your router. You must fill all of them. As DynDNS only provides two DNS server addresses yet, try to enter one of them again.

Also, do not configure the IG DNS server addresses on both, router and computer. Router alone is fully sufficient, else it makes troubleshooting more difficult, can break local name resolution and can cause other unexpected results. The DNS on your computers should be set to either obtain it automatically via DHCP, or it should point to the router's internal IP address.
.

Edit: As I can see from your nslookup result, you're using the Internet Guide successfully for your DNS lookups. However, due to the transparent proxy your ISP is using your settings do not take place, because your IP address making the DNS queries is different from your "web" IP address, i.e. the IP address your HTTP(S) traffic is going out.

The following may help:
To find out the IP address a DNS service is seeing from you, enter the following:

nslookup http://myip.opendns.com. 208.67.222.222

The returned IP address is the one Internet Guide sees from your DNS lookups.
Now create a new DynDNS hostname with exactly this IP address, and associate this hostname with your Internet Guide defense plan. I expect it would work then for you. You may need to observe the behavior of this IP address, whether it is static or dynamic. If it changes, you must also manually change it for the newly created hostname, as you don't have a chance to update it automatically. None of the existing update clients is able to do this, but you may want to write an own script being able doing this.

I know they say pictures are worth a thousand words, but a few less pictures wouldn't have lost you anything.

While you've configured the Internet Guide in your router, are your computers using it (ipconfig/all will show you)? Are you using a proxy server, or does your ISP use a transparent proxy?

"While you've configured the Internet Guide in your router, are your computers using it?" -- No, as you can see from his first picture, he did it too well and unnecessarily configured the IG DNS server addresses also on the computer. He might have thought he could force it then... :-(

With all those pixels it was hard to make sense of the post. I've cut it to the key 3. I'm guessing it's a proxy issue, or the hostname either isn't updated.

"I know they say pictures are worth a thousand words..." -- Doesn't it sound "A picture is worth a 1000 words"? ;-)

"the hostname either isn't updated" -- This isn't a prerequisite for using IG as recursive DNS at all. It's just a prerequisite for individual settings (blocking/filtering) taking place.

In that case, I'd say a proxy server is the 99.9% most likely cause.

So, is your browser configured to use a proxy server?

From the command line, what do you get if you type nslookup http://setup.dynguide.com?


Edit: That transparent proxy is the source of your problem. It is intercepting your web requests and doing it's own DNS resolution, hence why Internet Guide isn't working for you.

You'll need to contact your ISP and find out if you can opt out of their transparent proxy.
