I'm sending the following URL:

http://username:password@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=myhostname.dyndns.org&ip=50.19.140.10

This is a different IP than the one listed in my account, and the hostname resolves to something different, but I receive nochg. Why?

I know why: according to the specs the URL parameter is myip and not just ip. An unknown parameter is simply ignored, so you're updating always the same IP address resulting in nochg.

Yeah this is it, thanks. Weird that it wouldn't respond with error or something similar?

Is there a way for me to accept this as the answer? Not seeing the option anywhere.

"Weird that it wouldn't respond with error or something similar?" - It does: nochg - this is an error!

"Is there a way for me to accept this as the answer?" - Yes, you can click the check mark beside the most relevant answer. This is evidently mine... ;-)

There is a tick box under the "Thumbs up" and "Thumbs down" to the left.

I don't see a checkmark, maybe I don't have the reputation for it or something?

Hmm, I think I have to do it myself...

One guess would be that you run more than one Update Client, and the other one was quicker...

Can you please provide the real hostname. Without it we'd only be guessing.

It's just me sending one URL. If it was more than one update client, I would be getting good but then the hostname would resolve wrong. In this case I'm giving it a different IP and it's still saying nochg.
