It sounds like you have the DNS settings in your router set right, but double check just to make sure. You wouldn't get a message from OpenDNS if they were set wrong but still make sure they are right.

If it shows no network added in your OpenDNS dashboard page, hit up What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Internet Speed Test, IP Info, plus more and copy that IP down, then on the "Networks" tab in your OpenDNS Dashboard, put that IP into the box, select "use the default settings", then hit Add This Network.

Are you using the Updater app on your PC? My public IP never seems to change even though it's a residential cable service from Charter (blech), so if you aren't, download this:

OpenDNS > Support > Knowledge Base > Client software for updating a dynamic IP in an OpenDNS network

You will have to install it, put your username and password for OpenDNS into the app, and it will update your IP for their servers.

[Edited for clarity]
