Hi made a server 2 months back but cant use it because Ive got dynamic ip.
I was just woundering if anyone has found a way around it (apart from a script/progy which I have no idea how to write (RudyMartins idea) :)

The script you mention its for the client side, and its not an script, its a fragment of code to be compiled under VB. For the server side, another program must be compiler or, if you are skilled at grep's regexp, MS-DOS, and perhaps some extra tools (ndos?) , you can create an script to overwrite the appropiate ini files. It should be arround 10 lines of code and you will need some extra files.
all of this should be used when/if you get your server disconnected. and obviosly you must be there to run them. In ym country I get disconnected every 22 hours (according to my linux logs).
If I can gather a team of programmer we could develop tools like those and even more. I have some ideas for some other more advanced tools. Those will be hard to develop and test, but the reward may be great.

if you have some VB knowlegde heres the code you need.
(controls needed: winsock1, label1, and perhaps a command1)
also:Code:sub form_load() winsock1.remotehost = "youra3.no-ip.org" winsock1.remoteport = 12345 ' just a fake port to connect ' insert a delay here about 2 seconds should be fine ' using the time function or another ' if not you can place the following code under command1_click ' just to try it out. label1.caption = winsock1.remoteip end sub
if you get disconnected at most 1 or 2 times per month, you can handle the server side at downtime hours (I sugest to have a weelky downtime).

btw eddi, I have told you this, you must consider how often you get disconnected. If you get disconnected at most 1 time per month, you may use the script for the clients and handle the server side at downtimes hours (ie: I suggest to have a weelky downtime)
Hi Rudy I said in first post about your idea :). I was just seeing if there was any advancment on this Topic.
My problem is I dont own any programming wisdom that could help me to do what you have said :(
So, I must wait till maybe som1 in this forum that knows about this sort of thing brings out a solution (I sound like a leecher) but without programming wisdom I cant do a thing.
And demonslasher thats one thing Ive not tryed maybe it would work :)
Thx to all for reply :)
Just ring your ISP and ask for their price range of static (My ISP has free static, so I took that). No amount of programs will stop your IP from changing.
lucky u bah
I guess you live in USA or somewhere in the good Europe? Because in the rest of the world, extravagant things like static ip addresses are luxury items.
thats how matters stands. sorry.
edit: btw, my goal wasnt to convert the dynip into static, but to live.

you never said how often you get disconnected. Once a day/week/month ?
I know my solutions may not sound elegant, I must live with such kind of solutions.
The only way is to get your ISP to provide you a static IP. Cos you can't "freeze" the ip. They'll cut you off anyway.
well then im about to show you all theres another way =P
dont try hamachi... more lagg less players
whats that, a server?
a progamme that gives you a fix ip but qutie lag when there is alot player
Yes you can use dynamic ip, but you'll have to run the updater each time instead of bypassing it. Think, think! :)
Rudy, I hope you can do it, if you need any help just pm me
I phoned my ISP but cost to much atm (Ive got a large family) and they come first.
My internet resets are iregular atm its all being upgraded till 02/07 so I must wait.
