Instead of typing /connect ip addy I’ve seen servers that have
/connect et.ownersinc.net
My server ip is 8.3.6.12:27960 I can create a subdomain et.ownersinc.net but what is the script to redirect from subdomain to server ip? :banghead:
ET server /connect

No script involved, it’s just DNS. Once you set-up DNS for et.ownersinc.net and it propogates, clients can connect by doing
/connect et.ownersinc.net
I got a different IP when checking DNS, so you might want to check it out:
jim@aspen:~$ dig et.ownersinc.net

Most ISPs will add hosts for you… if you ask nicely… maybe a small fee.
Dynamic DNS is worth looking into, see http://dyndns.org
