Dyndhs is a free dns service, and using your dns name instead of your ip is just fine (at least on linux) assuming your machine does name-address resolution correctly. I agree with Shawn though, you should try your actual ip than your dynamic dns name. If this works, I would replace your ip in the 1st field with your dns name again, but leave the last field as localhost (127.0.01.) . Using dns is advntageous, if it works you dont have to change your.bat file whenever your ip address changes, you let dns take care of that for you.
I've run my linux server using that method for a long while with no issues. but never used it on my windows server (my windows box has a static subnet ip, so no reason too).
Try it this this way 1st, then try it the second way..
start zoneNT [numneric ip] 7990 127.0.0.1
if that works, try it like this
start zoneNT . myworld2.dyndns.org 7990 127.0.0.1
If the 2nd works, its your best bet. You dont have to change you bat file everytime you loose your lease...
