Hi, all this time i've been setting up my server for testing purposes only, and now i decided to let my friends join my server.
my question is, would i be able to host a server if i have a dynamic ip?

If you have source yes, easily.Quote:

Why? AccountServer checks for IP only and if u had for example testserver.no-ip.com it would error you if u put it in the ini ....
Thnx for reply Mr. Jomex, i know i cant do it in my source, since i dont have any knowledge in networking and just a very slight knowledge in c++,
do you know any other way of hosting a server in a dynamic ip?
you have to put your ip into ini's and change it everytime your ip changes and your users need to know your new ip all the time :PQuote:

@mr. caja, what do you mean sir? sorry, as i said, i dont know much about networks.
Than get to know these things before you proceed on making a server. It's samewise as riding a car and saying you never drove before but just tried it out.... till you crash in a tree...
You need to know the principles of networking and editing config files to use the simple ready to use files.
That's incorrect. You can put a DNS name into the ini configuration files providing its 15 characters or less. That's because the buffer that is used to read the ini only has enough room for a generic IPv4 address. So provided you do use something like test.no-ip.com it'll work. (not that example uses 14 characters)Quote:

example:
will it work?Quote:
i register testflyff.no-ip.com, then i would just put in my .ini files "testflyff.no-ip.com"
No-ip is a DNS provider so yes you can register a domain name through them but as I said the full URL can't be more then 15 chars (unless u edit the source).Quote:
