If you have a domain name associated with it, I would go to https://www.dynu.com/
and create a free account. They will assign you a new set of DNS records that should
take you right to your site.

You would just have to edit the DNS records in your Control Panel where the domain
name resides to the ones they assign you.

They also provide a free software download that will keep the IP associated with it up to
date in case it changes for any reason.

Works for me. I run my Mystic system from home and get a lot of action (most of it bots) but it does work. Just using a domain name gets them in without having to add anything else to the string like synchro.net or whatever.

I use them for the alternate domain of wx4qzbbs.ddnsfree.com to go with
tbolt.synchro.net

When I start the BBS computer (after being down for thunderstorms, which
are likely here Wednesday into Friday, with a risk of severe weather (it's
Tornado Season in Arkansas now)), I start PeerBlock first...then the DYNU
client, then the Synchronet Control Panel.

Daryl

.... Have you thanked your Sysop or Echo Moderator today??
