ddclient is definitely not updating my dynamic IP address

After 5 days with the ddclient installed and configured, today I noticed 
that my internet IP address has changed, but the ddclient is not 
updating this change into my account in dyndns.org.
The rpm package I downloaded is from dyndns.org.
I also tried yum install ddclient from freshrpms.
But both packages installation results are the same: Getting this 
message from the mail from ddclient to root : " Caught SIGTERM ;  exiting ".
My fc2 is behide a Linksys router BEFW11s4 ver.2 - Never updated bios.
May be I really don't know how to configured the /etc/ddclient.conf  
correctly, below is the content of it and see if any one can help ;
