Ok, you say they can't connect.

Few things here to try to for me, and please give me the results (since it's worked for me in the past, i thought).

Can they connect at all? do they pass login, but just can't connect to selected server?

Try flushing your DNS when this happens on the server pc, and then re=register it (with POL running).

Win2k and up
Code:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns


after doing this, and that host pc verifies it pings the new address, does that make a difference?

And btw, I think they won't make a difference, as I typed this I looked at the code and it appears it doesn't refresh the IP (but only glanced)

If I restart pol I think it is ok.
The problem is only that when I go work and are away from home if IP changes I cant't allow developer to interter in server for design of a new map.

The behavior is also the same on Windows 2000 Advanced Server, although Windows itself does not seem to be the cause. Other programs running on the same machine at the same time do get the updated IP address.

Here's pseudo-code of the entry point of the program I use to check for an IP change on my building shard.

Code:

int main(){
   try{
      char oldIP[16];
      char newIP[16];
      char hostName[11] = "my.url.com";

      oldIP = getOldIPFromPersistentStorage();  //such as Windows Registry, file stream, etc.
      newIP = resolveHostName(hostName);
      
      if (strcmp(oldIP, newIP)){
         cout << "IP Changed: " << newIP << endl;
         sendNewIPToPOLAux(newIP);  //WWW script works, too.
         saveNewIPToPersistentStorage(newIP);
      }else{
         cout << "No IP Change.\n";
      }
      cout << "Done";
      return 0;
   }catch (char* error){
      cout << "Error: " << error;
      return 1;
   }
}

zandor, do me a few favors. I just tested with dyndns.org, and when i tried to login, it gave correct IP. I them manually changed the IP from their site, tried again, and sent the client the different ip (Used UOLog to see the packets).

So it worked just fine for me. Can you give me more info?

Manually change the IP With POL running. Do a "tracert <dyndns name>" from the command prompt. Soon as you see the ip no longer takes only 1 hop (to your router), and keeps going to try to reach the new ip, try to log into POL again. Does it send the new ip, or the old for the server screen?

Uhm. Don't touch that host file!

You have it all pointing to the local LAN address of that PC, instead of your internet address. That's one problem.

Infact now I have put domain zandorhome.homeip.net in IP in servers.cfg and removed fomain line in hosts and POL seem to resolve zandorhome.homeip.it correctly....

I think POL was ok and my hosts did the the problem.

I know this is MY error, but I can only suggest in servers.cfg manual to specify that if domain is used to NOT to insert domain in horst...
