heys guys
really hope you can clear this up for me
Whats the purpose for using dyn-dns and no-ip?
To me it sounds like you would use it if you were starting a server and letting people connect to that server?
Am I right in saying (for example) If I were to connect to a server I wouldnt need to use the above programs?
I hope i am not breaking rules, If i am please delete topic
thanks
dyn-dns or no-ip hostname is needed because your isp provider will change your ip address randomly, using the hostname allows your clients to stay updated with your new ip address without any server downtime.
If you were only a client then a hostname would`nt be needed.
thanks for clearing that for me!!
what would happen ten like i do pay for a static ip address

I'd still get a dyndns address....its prettier than handing out your IP address to peers and they don't look as dodgy for some reason!

What if I have a fixed IP address? Can the dyn-dns name in the cline be replaced by my IP address? Of course we presume the port 12000 (or whichever other port was configured for server listening) is properly forwarded by the router.
