What I do is use my Cell phone as a wifi hot spot and connect to it with my laptop instead of the Wireless router. This way I am going out into the WWW and coming back. Unfortunately the only way to test port forwarding and DynDNS is from another internet connection, not the one the Classic is on.

One easy way to achieve this is to use a USB 3G stick in a laptop. Disable the local wifi connection in the laptop (usually a little slide switch). The laptop then connects to Internet via the telco whose 3G stick you are using then back into your Classic via your ISP connection.
Or even better make friends with a neighbour whose wifi your computer can detect  :)
