Hi guys

working on a woool server at the moment but I'm hoping its the same as mir. I don't have a static IP so iv created a DNS A Record to point to my ip.

I've change the IP in the client ini to game.westernwoool.com which is my A record but doesn't seem to work ?

Can anyone tell me if there is something else I need to do, does it need coding into the server files or anything like that?

Not really helping your issue, but you know that youll have to update your dns each time your ip changes because you dont have a static ip right?

You should be using a nodns provider for non static ips

you put it on your server and it automatically updates a DNS to your new IP when it changes.

I believe there are paid services which allow you to use your own domain, but free ones usually use a variation of custom/theirs.
