No eligible dynamic ip networks

If I want to add my OpenDNS service to DNS-O-Matic it says:
"Sorry, you have no eligible dynamic ip networks. Go to your dashboard to set one up."

In my account settings on OpenDNS there is dynamic IP update enabled and also the OpenDNS Updater (2.2.1) is running on my PC.

Why does this not work? Does this have something to do with the Host/Identifier name I have to fill in on the DynDNS service on the DNS-O-Matic website? There I filled in the name of the network I used on OpenDNS.

 

Thank you in advance!

  "Sorry, you have no eligible dynamic ip networks. Go to your dashboard to set one up."

  This message refers to your dashboard network at https://dashboard.opendns.com/settings/
  Did you enter a LABEL for your network there?  You should!  You can use anything, e.g. "home" or "mynetwork" or "sagert90", as you want.

  "Does this have something to do with the Host/Identifier name I have to fill in on the DynDNS service on the DNS-O-Matic website? There I filled in the name of the network I used on OpenDNS."

  Yes this host/identifier name is the LABEL.  At DNS-O-Matic you normally have to select from a drop-down list and not to type anything in for OpenDNS.  Do you login to DNS-O-Matic with the exact same credentials as at OpenDNS?  You must!

  It has been reported that this Updater doesn't work well with DNS-O-Matic.  If you face problems with the updates, you may try http://updater.marc-hoersken.de/ instead which works well with DNS-O-Matic, OpenDNS and others too.

  Use capital letters. It seems to work for me.
