Hey guys! Anyone know how i can keep my IP the same for my GTA SA Server?

It changes and i have to keep giving out a new one!

Please help JamesJ899!

You'll need to contact your ISP and obtain a Static IP. Typically it's around 2-6 bucks extra a month though.

You could also use a service like dyn-dns.

Hey! What is DYN?! or whateever?

 

[dudelewis1]

Some routers can be configured to update with dyndns so a domain name always redirects to your server
fore example creepa.dyndns-server.com always redirects to my minecraft server no matter what the ip is, even though its dynamic.

 

[JamesJ899]

So how do i update?!

 

[dudelewis1]

Check your router setting and see if they have a dynamic dns section
