I'm pretty sure this is quite simple, but I simply cant figure it out.

I want to access my router, and than other services, remotely.

So i created an account on free DDNS sites and I setup in Setup -> DDNS according to this https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/DDNS_-_How_to_setup_Custom_DDNS_settings_using_embedded_inadyn_-_HOWTO.

But still I can't access mydomain.linkpc.net or mydomain.mooo.com (i tried both).

My router is connected to a DSL modem, which is also a router. I tried to enable DMZ, but no success.

One thing i noticed is that under DDNS setup page, on DDNS Status frame, it shows "Thu Jan 1 01:00:19 1970: INADYN: IP read from cache file is '192.168.0.3'. No update required." which is my dd-wrt router internal IP address. Is that correct? Shouldn't it show the WAN IP?

What am I doing wrong?

If you have a router behind another router you need to use the external check for ip addresses. You might also need to do some port fowarding on the dsl router

DMZ should take care of Port forwarding.
I check my ip on server side sites...

As I cannot make it work, what should I do to port forward and check my ip?

there should be a button that says use external check or something like that.

for your external modem/router : dmz is the key.
For you dd-wrt router, try DDNS \ "Use external ip check" = Yes

=> Result : Thu Jan 1 01:00:13 1970: INADYN: IP read from cache file is 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'. No update required

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is you external address.
It should be the real WAN IP.
=> 192.168.X.X is an internal address, so there's an issue.

My bad, when trying to solve this I unchecked "Use external ip check". I checked it again and the ip is now correct.

I enabled DMZ, I forwarded some ports, but it doesnt work. I still can't access mydomain.linkpc.net

I tried:
mydomain.linkpc.net:8080
mydomain.linkpc.net:8200 (miniDLNA)
mydomain.linkpc.net:9091 (trasmission)
etc, etc
