I know a lot of people are currently using no-ip as there ip for there server, ive found and have tested it a much easier way.
There is a program called Hamachi which does exscatly the same but only better. This is also better to use if you are VNC/RDP to a host as the ip never changes from the machine it is installed on.
Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking application.
In other words Hamachi is a program that allows you to arrange multiple computers into their own secure network just as if they were connected by a physical network cable.
Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. Its core version is also free.
If anyone wants a step by step guide on how to set it up(which they shouldnt its that easy)the please post here.
And chould a mod sticky this if at all possible.
Heres a quick setup guide:
First of download the software from the link above.
Now install the software just keep pressing next.
Once uve done all that run the software. It will ask you for a user name, just put in what name u want.
Now click on the little triangel on the bottom right hand side and it will bring up a new menu.
Click on create new network.
Now imput a network name, it has to be 4 - 16 letters or numbers and add a password. Then click ok.
The IP at the top of the program is what u use for all ur gates and things.
In order for your dev team to connect to the server machine/s they also need this program installed. For them to connect to hamachi they need to press connect to exsisting network and need the password for that network that you created.
This is a good program for low end servers with a use count of 60 or less, im not to sure on how it handles after that mark.
