IP Address Updater | |
Joe Clifford 19th May 2013 18:44:39 | Dave,
We have been experiencing a change of external IP Address every few hours recently, sometimes less that than. It appears that the ISP are doing some work with the exchange and what ever else it is they feel the need to 'Fix' (Pronounced - Break). All of our players obviously get disconnected (this can not be helped) however, because 'GameSpy' is no longer used, the session itself remains on but no one can connect because they do not know the new IP Address. Would it be possible to build in functionality where the server software gets the IP address of the machine every 5-10 mins? This would mean in the eventuality that any server looses its IP address and there are no users with access to the server machine or a manager around to reset the software the website would automatically be updated with the new IP Address and players will be able to find the new address to connect. Just an idea that I think would be rather simple to implement and really quite helpful. Regards Joe |
