Pardon my ignorance of your setup.  Is it like this:  

Internet <-> Dlink DIR-628 <-> LAN  

or like this:  

Internet <-> ISP Modem/Router <-> Dlink DIR-628 <-> LAN

??  I can't figure out from your earlier messages.

Also excuse me if this is too basic, slap me upside the head for insulting you, 
I don't mind.  If this doesn't apply, just recycle the electrons.

If it's the latter, perhaps this info will help.  The DynDNS client doesn't 
care about double-NAT setups like this, but port forwarding does.  One way to 
check is to check the WAN IP of the Dlink DIR-628 from the DIR's web interface.  
If it's a private IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x) then the problem is the ISP 
Modem/Router is not forwarding ports.  You would need to get into ITS control 
panel and fix that, either by setting it to bridge mode or by forwarding all 
ports to the Dlink box.
