Hi, I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but I run the Mangos server from a PC from home which has a dynamic IP that changes occasionally. I use the free software from No-IP.com which is basically a web redirection service. I use the No-IP Free service which is free.

No-IP runs a small Windows program so that whenever my ISP changes my IP address, it automatically sends an update to No-IP's server with my updated IP address.

When I originally registered with No-IP, I got to pick a subdomain from a list of many domains and TLDs, and that's the Internet address I give out to everyone (for example, myplace.no-ip.net).

When my ISP changes my IP address, the software notifies No-IP and they update their routing table and no one is the wiser.

Hope that helps!

it`s not helpping beacuse it sais i have to pay to purchase a domain

Are you sure you're selecting the right product? I selected the No-IP Free product and didn't have to pay any fees. When it came to selecting a domain, I just selected one of domains they had to choose from (I picked no-ip.info) and I got to select the name I wanted; adventrilo (our guild name is Advent and we're using it for Ventrilo). So our No-IP IP address is now adventrilo.no-ip.info.

Hope that helps!

Currently, my IP address is 76.21.81.200 which is the equivalent of adventrilo.no-ip.info. I do not give out my IP address as it's dynamic and changes from time to time unlike the address I picked with No-IP.com of adventrilo.no-ip.info, which does not change. I only give out the adventrilo.no-ip.info for people to connect to.

Here is an image of the No-IP software from my tray:



This tells me that the dynamic IP address assigned to me by my ISP of 76.21.81.200 is being updated to No-IP.

Here is what my realmd.conf file looks like:



Here is what my mangosd.conf looks like:



I also know that the in the realmd database, there is a table called realmlist. In this table, there is one record that lists the name of my realm and the IP address. I think you need to update the IP address others will be connecting to in this table. I use the Navicat GUI to interface with MySQL but have also included a screen shot from SQLyog too:

Here is the Navicat screenshot:

You also asked for a Host doc from my C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. I'm not sure what you're referring to there. I didn't update any such file for this setup.

Hope that helps!

Do you mean the realmlist.wtf file? If this is the file that you mean, here is how mine is set up:



I did not have to do anything with my C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. From looking at this file, it appears contain the following information:



Again, I did not have to modify this file in any way for my installation.
