Dynamic IP troubles
Dynamic IP troubles
I have a domain name set up to handle log in, but reading the guide it seems the map server requires an explicit IP address. The problem is that address will change and I have no way to stop it from doing so. Am I going to have to edit IP for the map server every time it does or is there a way around this?

Re: Dynamic IP troubles
A few options here:
1. Try to avoid your server disconnecting and it should renew its DHCP lease with the same IP each time.
2. Write a tool that auto-updates your IP with a DB query on either an interval or some kind of triggered event. You may be required to restart your servers any time it changes though.
3. Use ffxi-boot_mod3 to log in using the hairpinning hack. It will bypass the zoneip of the server entirely.

Thanks! I didn't know that about the hairpin option.
