If its working fine internally then its either a portforwarding or dns issue, do you have more than 1 instance of your dns updater running by any chance?
e.g server & pc or router at the same time or is your server listen port used by another service.
Check if your port is correctly opened with:
http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/i did try to install an updater on my server by terminal but im not sure if it completed as i got lost and gave up. surely i could use the current ip address to eliminate DNS?
Well if it did install you can check or reconfigure it with this,
dpkg-reconfigure ddclientCheck its not active anywhere else & see how you get on buddy.
just some basics
Your server is at home ?
Your dns is working ?
set your routers web interface to allow remote access then try your dns from a remote location !
i would log into my neighbours wireless and type [http://blacksx.dns.org:80] (or whatever port the router web interface is set to i have used 80 in the example ip-most virgin routers are preset to 8080) -
If you get the router login page you know your Dns is working !
Go back to your dns setup page & make sure the part in red below contains your external ip.

I have the updater working correctly mate as my URL takes me directly to my routers login page. U had a line from me working before mate, since then I think the only change I've made is installing Webmin. Do u think this could have changed

Well if i put my own dns in my browser it certainly doesnt do that, installing webmin will not have affected anything unless you have chosen a port for webmin that is also used as your server listen port.
