So let's say that I have a subdomain (let's call it a.b.com). Let's say my IP is 127.0.0.1.
How would I go about pointing it so that when someone visits a.b.com it's the same thing as visiting my ip directly.
This is for the ET server I've decided to host on my rig.
Edit /etc/hosts to include the line:
127.0.0.1 localhost a.b.com
Ah, k. Thanks.
Note for Windows systems this is in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
;-)
Or you can add a DNS record. Then it'll work for anybody
iago, how would I go about doing that?
Also, let's say it's using certain ports.
Would I just make it:
127.0.0.1:A localhost a.b.com
And do that for as many ports as there are?
That's a bit excessive.

AFAIK you can't do it for only certain ports.
So wait, ET requires ports 27950,27951,27960 UDP IN/OUT. How would I do that? Obviously I'm new to this. :p Stupid james never helped me when I asked.
OHHHHH, NOW I understand.
I thought you wanted to redirect traffic from your computer outbound to a.b.com to 127.0.0.1. I didn't know you wanted external incoming connections to also go there.
This is an external router issue. Yeah, you'd need to register the subdomain to point to your public IP address with the DNS server that handles incoming requests on b.com (in your example). Then, I'm assuming you're using a router, you need to configure external requests on those ports with UDP to be forwarded to your local machine.
yea, you can't do what you are wanting to do without registering the b.com domain.
Alternatively, if you want a subdomain on one of mine, I can set that up pretty easily. I assume that James and iago can do so as well if you prefer their domains.
Name resolution has nothing to do with ports, it is simply a way of associationg a human-readable name with a computer-readable number (IP adress). The port forwarding stuff I assume you already know how to do (if you don't, why the hell did you right a guide for it on da ;)).

Mmkay. That's what I was kind of thinking, but I wasn't sure (not even a smidgeon of a percent).

I was using that as an example. :P I'd end up using my website.

I'll probably use one from my website though. Thanks anyways.

I plagiarize. What is this port forwarding thing you talk about?
I was referring to b.com as your example clown.
I did not realize you had a domain, zoneedit.com is very helpful if you don't have a couple spare computers in different locations to act as DNS servers ;)
:( iago I want a subdomain plz & thx.
wolverine.x86labs.org
pointing to my IP (you're admin, you can see teh ips)
I'll have a server set up sooner or later.
uT: if I didn't have a domain, how would i Have a website? God you're so silly. :P
Anyways, I have to find the server files I need for my ET server. Which will be a pain in the butt because people suck and the official website is down constantly.
Time to rootkit haxxor @ wolverine.x86labs.org!!!
I thought x86labs.org was Newby's domain?
Nah. Mythix purchases the domain and iago just uses it.

No, it's Mythix. Lobo may have made the initial purchase, but Mythix pays for it now.
Oh.

He does? wow my money must have went to someone else...
I thought Mythix paid for the domain. Maybe I'm thinking of another one. Shh. :P

It's ok. I still know who pays for our domain. They may not, but I do, and that's what counts. :-*
You're mixing up two domains, x86labs.org and javaop.com
