Actually DynDNS works quite well for giving "your crew" a single domain name to use for your server. I'm using it for my Q3 server, HLDS and SRCDS - although candidly my WAN address doesn't change very much. When it does, my router notifies DynDNS and the host name resolves to the new IP address. Another option is with DynDNS is to switch to the "static" DNS service. It's useful for when, like me, you address does not change much, and you won't get those perodic, yet annoying, messages from Dyn reminding you to "touch" your account. It's also a free service.
Third-party browsers, and the Steam game browser are interested in IP address and should track auomatically when the address changes. > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: 2005/07/20 Wed PM 12:07:59 EDT > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [hlds] Newbie Trying to host a server > > I'm going to assume you mean kbps, or roughly 6Mbps down/500kbps up. > > Even then, hosting dynamic IP'ed servers isn't the best idea if you want > people you don't know to come back...
