Hey all,
With my webserver and gaming servers, I need to be able to connect to my global IP like my friends do. I know about 127.0.0.1 being the local IP, but I specificly need to be able to connect to my public IP for specific reasons.
sign up for dynamic dns (it's free) and it assigns a name to your dns, and tracks it for you. so instead of having to type ip address you can type myserver.homeip.net, ect.
