Dynamic IP

[Crazy Monkey]

How do i keep my server IP the same when i have a Dynamic IP?

[realchamp]

Impossible. You need a static. Which might cost you moneys.

How does that help and how would i use it?

Register (free), choose a name/domain (like monkey.game-host.org), fill in your current IP (use autodetect IP)and use the name to resolve your IP (can be used for connecting to a server, ftp, web, ssl etc.).

Does this also work by putting it into the server (ie. will the server resolve to the ip as well as the connect command?)

[Arjen]

Yes it does: connect monkey.game-host.org:27015

This is great, but what about people adding it to favourates?
Via. ingame server ip? will i need to supply them with the game-host.org thingo? or will it do that automatically?

.

You can just supply them the yourdomain.dyndns.com

I know it will work with the connect command, but will it work with the console ip command, when setting the srcds external ip?

isnt the internal ip just what your ip is on the lan/network?

Yes, but you also must give the server your external IP

[Arjen]

Internet <--> External IP/ DynDNS-mask on router <->internal ip router (192.168.1.1)<-> forwarded ports <->internal IP on Server

Start the server with internal IP.

To connect to the server use external IP/ DynDNS-mask.

No you don't. In fact, you should NOT give the server your external IP as it will not load. Give it no IP or your internal IP.

Well not on statup. you have to give it your external ip in your cfg though dont you?

No -ip <local IP> when you start the server
