When I made change as you mentioned above and particularly like this ;

use=fw, fw=192.168.1.1/Status.htm, fw-skip='IP Address' # found
after IP Address

The ddclient this time passed out the message :

SUCCESS:  updating MyAccountName.dyndns.org: good: IP address set to

192.168.1.1.
This time it updated the IP address database record with my router's LAN 
IP address 192.168.1.1 instead of taking the WAN IP address. So what did 
I miss?
